Blooming in midsummer, the flowers are edible.  Hemerocallis are members of the lily family and the blossoms usually last one day, but these clump forming plants, with their gracefully arching strap-shaped leaves, produce enormous numbers of flowers throughout the summer. It is relatively trouble free and grows in almost any soil, as long as it is well drained.  'Fairy Tale Pink', like all 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). Divide in early spring.  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.  ‘Fairy Tale Pink’ can be used for stand alone plantings, edging, in borders or in mixed containers and tubs.  Planted together in large numbers, they quickly crowd out weeds and make a carefree and colorful ground cover.It also makes a beautiful floral arrangement. Use this ‘Fairy Tale Pink’ to create large swathes of lovely color in the summer landscape! * Graceful, arching leaves * Heavily ruffled |

  |   Daylily - Modern Design - Sale Price: $54.95 Hemerocallis Modern Design, Hemerocallis 'Modern Design', is an excellent and vigorous plant that produces 4 wide blooms.  The flowers are light apricot with a pronounced plum burgundy eye and a matching picotee edge. ‘Modern Design’ is a very good bloomer during the summer, and then reliably follows up with another surge of reblooms later in the season! One of the Designer Daylily™ Collection, it has lightly ruffled petals that are gently recurved. Heat and humidity tolerant, Modern Design is considered a premium daylily because it shows outstanding bloom performance, produces vibrant flowers, and has winter hardiness in northern zones.

Use ‘Modern Design’ daylily for color in shrub borders and in perennial beds.  Once established, the daylily can be an excellent groundcover on slopes because it has roots that hold soil against erosion; attracts butterflies. ‘Modern Design’ makes a beautiful floral arrangement! * Vigorous grower * Large blooms * Rebloomer  |
