Bring easy, summer-long color to your garden with Hemerocallis 'South Seas' (Daylily 'South Seas'). This dependable perennial forms tidy clumps of arching, strap-like foliage and sends up sturdy flower scapes for a strong midseason display. Like all daylilies, each bloom is short-lived, but plants produce many buds so you get a long run of flowers when conditions are right.
Plant it where you can enjoy the blooms up close, or use it to anchor mixed borders, edging, and mass plantings. For best flowering, give it full sun, though it also performs well with partial shade, especially where summers are hot. Daylilies are adaptable and forgiving, so they are a good fit if you want a showy plant that does not demand constant attention.
After planting, water regularly until established. In spring, remove old foliage and refresh mulch as needed, keeping mulch off the crown. Deadhead spent flowers for a neater look, and trim back scapes once flowering finishes. If clumps become crowded or flowering declines, lift and divide every few years and replant divisions at the same depth for quick recovery and renewed vigor.
