Our "Bloom or Bust" Promise

Daylily blooms last just a day, but each plant carries many buds so the display continues for weeks. ‘Hyperion’ is also noted for its fragrance, making it a lovely choice near seating areas.

Hemerocallis ‘Hyperion’ produces fragrant, green-yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers that bring bright summer colour to borders and large containers, with a natural, cottage-garden feel.

A deciduous, clump-forming perennial, it reaches around 1m in flower and forms arching strap-like foliage. Each bloom lasts a day, but plants carry many buds so you get a long season of flowers.

Plant in full sun or light partial shade in fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Daylilies are tolerant of a range of soils, including heavier ground, but flowering is best where they receive good light.

Water in dry spells from spring to early summer to support bud formation, and feed in spring for strong growth. Remove spent flower stems after flowering and tidy dead foliage as required.

Perfect for mixed borders, cottage gardens and cut flowers, daylilies are dependable and long-lived. They also divide easily, so established clumps can be split to create new plants.

Where to Plant:

Choose full sun or partial shade in fertile, moist but well-drained soil. It’s excellent in borders and large pots, and a sunny position gives the best flowering.

How to Plant:

Plant in spring, setting the crown at soil level. Space about 45–60cm apart and water in well. Incorporate compost to improve moisture retention in sandy soil.

Aftercare:

Water in spring to early summer during dry spells to support flowering. Cut back spent stems after blooming, tidy old foliage, and divide clumps in early spring or early autumn to rejuvenate.
