The ‘Silver Ice’ daylily (Hemerocallis ‘Silver Ice’) is a highly resilient, semi-evergreen tetraploid that produces fragrant, pale lavender blooms with a contrasting cream throat. Hybridized in 1983, this plant grows 25 inches tall, features 5-inch blossoms, and blooms reliably in the early-to-midseason. [1, 2, 3]
Key Growing Requirements:
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun to partial shade, thriving best with at least 4 hours of direct sunlight a day.
- Soil: Adapts to most soil types, though it prefers rich, well-draining soil with added compost.
- Watering: Requires regular watering during the first season and subsequent dry spells, but is highly drought-tolerant once established.
- Hardiness: Highly cold-hardy, suitable for USDA zones 4 through 9. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
