Hemerocallis 'Double Pink Zephyr'

This is a brand-new Hemerocallis 'Double Pink Zephyr' cultivar, and one you won’t often find offered for sale. It’s a real beauty, too. Long, sleek buds in a lovely cream shade open out to semi-double flowers, packed with curved, and slightly ruffled petals. Its midsummer blooms are around 10cm across, and their overall shade is that of a rich salmon-pink, with the outer petals tending to be marginally lighter. The pink colouring of Hemerocallis 'Double Pink Zephyr' then blends into the centre of the flower, which is a deep golden yellow. The whole colour combination of cream, salmon-pink and golden yellow is stunning—particularly bearing in mind that the blooms come in abundance. Daylily 'Double Pink Zephyr' also has arching, mid-green, sword-shaped leaves.  

This dwarf hardy perennial, at just around 45cm in height, making it ideal for edging paths, beautifying rock gardens, or for growing in patio containers, either in full sun or part-shade. Daylilies are so-named because each flower lasts for just one day. However, the blooms come in profusion, on multiple flower spikes, and in sequence, so there is a glorious continuous display for several weeks.
