Frans Hals Daylily

Frans Hals Daylily

Hemerocallis x 'Frans Hals'

This daylily bears orange flowers in summer: a vigorous, low-maintenance perennial suited to sunny borders, slopes, and mass plantings.

  • Orange flowers open in summer; each individual bloom lasts a single day but successive buds extend the display over several weeks.
  • Strap-like foliage forms a dense, weed-suppressing clump; largely pest and disease free in Ontario conditions.
  • Mature clumps expand reliably; divide every four to five years in early spring or autumn to maintain vigour.
  • Best in full sun to partial shade to full shade with moist, well-drained soil.

Growing & Maintenance Tips
Hemerocallis grow best in an average to moist, well-drained soil, in full sun or partial shade. Daylilies with very dark flower colours benefit from more shade. They are adaptable to many soil conditions, even heavy clay soils and once established, will tolerate heat and drought. Prune the flower stalks down after blooming to improve the overall appearance and lengthen bloom time. They spread (some slowly, some more aggressively) by underground rhizomes. Easy to grow.
Notes
The name "hemerocallis" is derived from the Greek words for "day" and "beautiful," referring to the individual flowers lasting for about 24 hours. Both the flower buds and open flowers of the daylily are edible, with the petals and sepals frequently used for colour contrast in salads.
