Daylily - Fairy Tale Pink - Sale Price: $49.95 The Daylily 'Fairy Tale Pink', Hemerocallis 'Fairy Tale Pink', has a darker pink veining where the blooms originate in the throat region, and then fades towards the tips of the petals; a very delicate shade of pink with interesting color variations. No one can simply walk by it. Those who pass by will stop and remark on its colors, ruffled petals, and understated grace! 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.
