Daylily - August Frost
Daylily - August Frost Hemerocallis August Frost, Hemerocallis 'August Frost', is a daylily that exhibits a healthy, hardy clump of green foliage and is a faithful and heavy performer; not a rebloomer. ‘August Frost’ has large, 6” near white to pale yellow flowers that have narrow gold edging on the petals. This daylily tolerates the temperature extremes of the season, and because of its beautiful form and overlapping petals, ‘August Frost’ provides a bright accent to a garden. Its blooms are impressive and the fabulous contrasting gold wire edges make a dainty ruffled flounce! Because it is a late bloomer, you can enjoy its fabulous color when other perennials begin to fade. Individual flowers last only one day but since each plant produces many buds, the total blooming time of a well-established clump may last over a month. Use this daylily for color in shrub borders and in perennial beds. It is an excellent ground cover on slopes because daylilies have roots that hold soil against erosion once established. ‘August Frost’ makes a beautiful floral arrangement. Daylilies are some of the easiest plants to grow and are a good choice for any gardener. They will grow in almost any soil and handle drought to wet soil conditions. Planted together in large numbers, they quickly crowd out weeds and make a carefree and colorful ground cover; attracts butterflies. Daylilies can survive many harsh conditions that other plants cannot including: polluted city environments, slopes, poor and dry soils, near pavement that is salted in winter, and under Black Walnut trees (not affected by juglone). * Late bloomer * Hardy * Carefree
