Hemerocallis Pink Damask - Daylily

The 'Pink Damask' Daylily offers large star-shaped flowers with petals of pure coral pink and a green-yellow base. Numerous buds ensure long-lasting flowering. It has an imposing growth habit. The daylily is a trouble-free flower, guaranteed to succeed. Perfect for your garden!

The Hemerocallis genus belongs to the Liliaceae family. These are perennial and hardy plants with deciduous or semi-evergreen foliage. In this variety, the clump will reach 95 cm (37in) in height, with a spread of 80 cm (32in), possibly more if the soil suits it. The flowers are large, measuring approximately 15 to 17 cm (6 to 7in) in diameter. The solid coral colour of 'Pink Damask' is enhanced with a touch of yellow-green in the centre. As their name suggests, Daylilies do not last very long individually, but they continuously renew themselves throughout the summer. The stems are sturdy, so don't hesitate to make beautiful bouquets with them. The foliage is thick, linear, and deciduous. It is a plant with short rhizomes and fleshy roots.

Very easy to grow, these perennials thrive in both shade and sun. Some can be a bit invasive, so don't hesitate to divide the clumps every four or five years after flowering in autumn. Daylilies are often called "the perfect perennial" due to their vibrant colours, ability to tolerate any kind of environment, and lack of modesty. They have a beautiful exuberance that goes well with other perennials. Plant 'Pink Damask' in generous clumps at the back of your flower beds. Consider summer-flowering bulbs and the graceful habit of grasses to lighten up your flower beds. If you want to enhance your balconies and patios with a daylily, you'll need large pots of at least 30 cm (12in) deep and prefer dwarf varieties. The flowers are edible: they brighten up salads and decorate desserts.

Many varieties have been developed in Japan, where they are very popular. The flowers of these plants come in a wide range of colours and forms. Over sixty thousand cultivars, mostly resulting from hybridization by gardening enthusiasts, are listed, appreciated, and studied by international Hemerocallis societies.
