Hemerocallis 'South Seas'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial

Plant Description: The flowers of this daylily vary from mango to scarlet in late-spring through summer. Its leaves are long and linear and grow from the base of the plant. It is hardy and can handle Utah's climate but needs consistent water.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
