7 pink daylilies
In bright or soft colours for all atmospheres
Contents
Daylily or hemerocallis is a perennial to adopt in the garden as it has so much to offer: as long as you have a sunny spot to plant it, it will reward you with a renewed flowering for two months or more. It will be even more generous in cool soil. Pink is a very common colour among daylilies although they are better known for their yellow, orange, and red flowers.
Pink daylilies rarely exceed 90 cm in height, with most varieties being low to medium in size. They are generally star-shaped, triangular, or round. The petals are often ruffled. There are all shades of pink: delicate, pastel, flesh, or apricot, coral, bright pink, lavender, old rose, fuchsia, raspberry, deepening towards purple or violet. This diversity of tones and shapes gives flowers a look that is sometimes romantic and soft, sometimes dynamic and bold. Discover here 7 pink daylilies that will suit all your desires!
Hemerocallis 'Catherine Woodbury'
Delicately, the daylily ‘Catherine Woodbury’ evokes sweetness with its large lilac-pink flower awakened by a light yellow throat and a lime green heart. The plant, reaching 70 cm in height and width at ripeness, blooms for a long time, from June to September, as it is particularly repeat flowering. Additionally, its abundant 15 cm flowers are highly fragrant. This variety has many advantages!
For a pastel ambiance, plant Hemerocallis ‘Catherine Woodbury’ alongside perennials such as Geranium himalayense with deep blue flowers and spheres of Allium christophii with bright purple hues.

Hemerocallis 'Summer Wine'
If the daylily ‘Summer Wine’ is, as its name suggests, a summer wine, then it is one to be savoured at sunset. Indeed, its intense pink is deep and seems warmed by the light of the day’s end. It produces fairly large flowers (12 cm) in trumpet shapes. Its petals, undulating, have silvery reflections, and its throat is chartreuse yellow. It is of medium size, 60 cm in all directions, and blooms from June to August. It is a vigorous and trouble-free variety.
For a desire for lightness, plant ‘Summer Wine’ with Eryngium planum ‘Blauer Zwerg’ and Veronicastrum virginicum ‘Cupid’. Add a few clumps of Sanguisorba menzeisii.

Hemerocallis 'Neyron Rose'
There is something distinctive about the daylily ‘Neyron Rose’, probably its pronounced white median, which is very clear right to the tip of the petal, giving it a somewhat crinkled appearance. The fairly large flower is a deep raspberry pink, and the throat is a lovely orange that complements it well. This is an old variety that has proven its hardiness, blooming in June and July with a height of about 75 cm and a width of 40 cm.
Its warm double colour of raspberry and orange invites sunny combinations, perhaps with a Geum ‘Totally Tangerine’, an Echinacea angustifolia, and/or an Echinacea ‘JS Engeltje Pretty Parasols’. A Pennisetum orientale ‘Karley Rose’ completes the picture.

Hemerocallis 'Siloam Double Classic'
Let’s talk about ‘Siloam Double Classic’, modest compared to its peers, yet not lacking in interest. Its double flowers, with crinkled and undulating edges, are fragrant. This is a variety particularly small, reaching 30 cm in height and 40 cm in width, perfect for pots or borders. It is full of charm, with apricot-pink blooms featuring a tangy green heart and a yellow throat that infuses the petals. It flowers in June and July.
Imagine a romantic display in a pot with Phlox paniculata ‘Blue Flame’, also fragrant, with bluish-white flowers, an Aster dumosus ‘Lady in Blue’ that will take over, and an Ajuga reptans providing evergreen foliage and a subtle, long-lasting flowering.

Hemerocallis 'Lavender Deal'
With its very open and spreading flower, ‘Lavender Deal’ catches the eye and diffuses its fragrance. Its petals, veined with purple, are a pink tinged with blue, resembling a light violet or dark lavender. It features a large yellow throat, with a white median accentuating its geometric appearance. The flower is very large, measuring 18 cm, but the plant is modest in size, reaching 60 cm in all directions. It blooms in June and July.
Its particularly large flower enhances its exotic appearance, so give it plenty of space. An Astrantia major ‘Sunningdale Variegated’ with its variegated white foliage will echo the white traits of ‘Lavender Deal’, and a Sedum ‘Matrona’ with its soft pink will surround it gently.

Hemerocallis 'Siloam David Kirchhoff'
The daylily ‘Siloam David Kirchhoff’ stands out for its combination of elements that forms an original ensemble: a soft pink, fully veined, a lavender halo surrounded by violet, an acid green throat, and round, undulating petals. The plant, rather small at 50 cm in all directions, blooms profusely from July to September.
Its romantic charm can be fully utilised by pairing it with other small daylilies of a similar character to create a lovely, tender border: ‘Canadian Border Patrol’ with its orange-yellow colour and purple halo starts the season in June, joined by ‘Janice Brown’ in flesh pink with a dark pink halo. ‘Siloam David Kirchhoff’ follows in July. Three poetic miniatures with green hearts. For a more vibrant version, you can replace ‘Canadian Border Patrol’ or ‘Janice Brown’ with ‘Jason Salter’ with its more intense yellow.

Hemerocallis 'Pink Damask'
The daylily ‘Pink Damask’ is coral, which is its great quality. The petals are slightly crinkled but the flower is single, star-shaped, only adorned with a green-yellow throat. This simplicity is striking, measuring 16 cm for the flower and 95 cm in height (with a width of 80 cm). It blooms from June to August.
Here, to accompany the pure coral, a Anthemis tinctoria ‘Wargrave Variety’ with its softly yellow daisies against a backdrop of Berberis thunbergii ‘Rosy Glow’ with purple foliage. A few angel’s fishing rods, Dierama ‘Guinevere’, rise above the ensemble.
