Add long-lasting color to your summer borders with Hemerocallis 'Strawberry Candy' (Daylily 'Strawberry Candy'), a dependable daylily that forms neat clumps of arching, strap-like foliage and sends up strong scapes topped with ruffled, strawberry-pink blooms marked by a rosy red eye and a warm throat.
Plant it where you can enjoy the flowers up close, and mix it into perennial beds, foundation plantings, or wide edging. Daylilies are tough, adaptable performers that settle in quickly and look better each year as the clump expands. A mature plant typically reaches about 18-24 inches tall, with a similar spread as it fills in.
Give your plant full sun for the heaviest bloom, but it will also do well in part shade, especially where afternoons are hot. Provide average, well-drained garden soil and water regularly during the first season to help roots establish. Once established, daylilies are forgiving of short dry spells, but they flower best with consistent moisture during active growth and budding.
For easy upkeep, remove spent flower stalks after bloom and tidy old foliage as needed. Divide crowded clumps every few years to refresh vigor and to create new plants for other parts of your garden. Use Hemerocallis 'Strawberry Candy' as a reliable, colorful anchor that pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses, coneflowers, salvias, and other sun-friendly perennials.
