| Care Instructions | Thrives in organically rich loam; adapts to most soil types, provided they are well-drained. Water deeply and regularly during the 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. |
| History | The history of the daylily begins in China and introduced early on to Europe but never caught on there in gardens. The early strains remained relatively unchanged due to difficulty in cross pollinating daylilies. Just recently in 1921 Dr. A. B. Stout perfected a method that proved so successful that by the 1990s there were nearly 40,000 named varieties. Fairy Tale Pink has received multiple American Horticultural Society awards. It was bred by Pierce around 1980. |
| Lore | The name, hemerocallis is derived from the Greek for beauty and day because each flower blooms for just a single day. |
