| Lore | The original small flowered daylily native to China is still cultivated there as a food crop. |
| Average Size at Maturity | Fast growing to 2 ft. tall. Clump forming. |

| Design Ideas | This carefree perennial fits into almost any garden. Spot into perennial borders as individuals or small clusters. Mass into a sea of color that functions much like groundcover. You can arrange them in a row against foundations as a mini hedge. With its strap-leafed form and flowers on long wand-like stems, Daylily offers dramatic relief between dwarf shrubs. |

| Companion Plants | This Daylily's clear peach or apricot flowers blend well with the pastel blue blooms of Maries Balloon Flower (Platycodon grandiflorus mariesii) and Lily of the Nile (Agapanthus africanus). For a pretty pale-yellow companion, try the understated My Signature Daylily (Hemerocallis hybrids My Signature) and Dwarf Euryops (Euryops pectinatus 'Munchkin'). |
Thrives in organically rich loam; adapts to most soil types, provided they are well-drained. Water deeply, regularly during first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Once established, reduce frequency; tolerates mild drought. Remove old foliage and spent blooms for a neat appearance and to promote continued bloom.
