The “What-A-Show” daylily (Hemerocallis) is a highly-rated, compact tetraploid cultivar known for producing large, 6-inch shimmering lavender-mauve flowers with a bright citron-yellow throat. It features highly ruffled petals and boasts a strong, sweet fragrance. [1, 2]
Key Characteristics & Care
- Bloom Habit: Individual blooms last only one day, but the plant continuously pushes out multiple buds on sturdy stalks (scapes) over several weeks in mid-season.
- Rebloomer: This specific variety is prized for reblooming, meaning you will often get a second flush of flowers later in the summer.
- Sun & Soil: Performs best in full sun (at least 6 hours daily) and well-draining, moderately fertile soil.
- Hardiness: It is an extremely resilient herbaceous perennial, capable of surviving extreme cold and heat, as well as dry or poor soils. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
