Hemerocallis 'Hyperion' (Daylily)
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.
