Our "Bloom or Bust" Promise

Daylilies are called Hemerocallis—‘beauty for a day’—because each bloom lasts just a single day, yet established plants produce buds in succession for weeks of colour.

Hemerocallis ‘Frans Hals’ is a dependable daylily with eye-catching, bicolour blooms that light up sunny borders, cottage gardens, and low-maintenance planting schemes throughout summer.

Forming a tidy, bushy clump of strap-like foliage, it sends up sturdy stems topped with large, funnel-shaped flowers in warm orange and yellow tones, delivering bold colour with minimal fuss.

Plant in full sun for the strongest flowering, in fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Daylilies are tolerant of a wide range of soils and cope well once established, making them ideal for many gardens.

Water during prolonged dry spells in spring and early summer to support bud formation. Remove spent flower stems after flowering and tidy away dead foliage; clumps can be divided every few years if needed.

A brilliant choice for borders and cutting, ‘Frans Hals’ also supports pollinators and provides reliable structure at the front to middle of beds, pairing easily with grasses and late-summer perennials.

Where to Plant:

Choose a sunny spot with fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil. Daylilies are tough and adaptable, so they work well in mixed borders, cottage gardens, and large containers in full sun.

How to Plant:

Plant in spring, setting the crown so it sits just below the soil surface. Spread the roots out, backfill and firm, then water well. Space plants to allow clumps to expand and fill out over time.

Aftercare:

Water in dry periods during spring and early summer to help buds develop. Remove spent stems after flowering, clear away dead leaves, and divide established clumps every few years to refresh growth and flowering.
