With bold, tri-toned flowers and a long season of color, Hemerocallis × 'Rainbow Rhythm® 'Storm Shelter' is an easy way to add drama to beds and borders. Each 5-inch bloom shows rich mauve-purple petals with a dark, eggplant-toned eye and matching edge, finished with a bright throat for extra contrast. You'll enjoy fresh flowers through much of summer, and the clumps keep tidy green foliage from spring until frost.
Plant in full sun for the heaviest flowering, or give it part shade in hotter areas (especially afternoon shade) to help keep the flower color looking its best. This daylily is adaptable and tough once established, fitting into mixed perennial plantings, mass plantings, and container designs as a reliable mid-height accent.
Expect mature size around 22-26 inches tall and 18-24 inches wide. Space plants about 18-24 inches apart to let the clumps fill in without crowding. Water regularly the first season; after that, provide supplemental water during prolonged dry spells for the best bloom show.
For simple upkeep, remove spent flower stems when they finish and tidy old foliage as needed. Divide clumps every few years if flowering declines or you want to expand your planting.
