Daylily - Kokomo Sunsetâ„¢ - Sale Price: $49.95 The Daylily 'Kokomo Sunset', Hemerocallis 'TP 06-02', is an early-blooming daylily that has 4 inch wide, deep golden blooms with burgundy-red eyes. The blooms have a light ruffled edge and a green throat. Because it has a long bloom season and multiple flowering cycles, the 'Kokomo Sunset' is perfect for mass planting and perennial beds! 'Kokomo Sunset' has short, grassy foliage, clean shedding of old blooms, prolonged reblooming that extends the season, and rapid increase of divisions. Compact plants and short flower scapes and foliage of this daylily eliminate blow-over in garden centers common to taller daylilies. This daylily matures to 14-18 inches tall and the flowering begins 6 to 8 weeks earlier than standard commercial varieties, and the flowers develop even during cooler weather and cold nights! Daylilies will grow in almost any soil and handle drought to wet soil conditions. In areas that receive less than 6 hours of sun during the day, your daylilies will probably produce fewer and smaller blooms, and the foliage may not be as robust. These plants 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). As a gardener, you will be captivated by the colorful display of this marvelous daylily, and how 'Kokomo Sunset' has such a wide range of soil and – and cool weather tolerance! * Short flower scapes * Compact foliage * Early bloomer |
