RAINBOW RHYTHM® Collection

An improved ‘Happy Returns’ with larger flowers and nearly continuous bloom.  ‘Going Bananas’ starts to bloom about 1-2 weeks later in early summer, but it blooms nearly continuously into early fall, unlike ‘Happy Returns’ which often stops flowering in August.  The 4“, fragrant, canary yellow flowers have recurved, overlapping petals and slightly ruffled margins.  They open fully and symmetrically just above the semi-evergreen foliage.  The plants display excellent 3-way branching, producing 10-15 well-spaced flowers per scape. Diploid.

Daylilies can survive many harsh conditions that other plants cannot including: polluted city environments, slopes, poor and dry soils, near pavement that is salted in winter

Daylilies can survive many harsh conditions that other plants cannot including: polluted city environments, slopes, poor and dry soils,and  near pavement that is salted in winter.

Daylilies are some of the easiest perennials to grow and are a good choice for any gardener, from the beginner to the professional. These are tough, adaptable plants that will grow in any soil, from normal to slightly wet to dry. Older varieties are able to bloom if planted in partial shade, but most of the newer introductions need full sun for best performance. Likewise, older varieties tend to spread more rapidly than the newer hybrids.

All varieties can be divided every 3-4 years by digging up the entire clump and dividing it into smaller pieces with a minimum of 3 eyes each. This can be done in either spring or fall. Plants should be deadheaded for cosmetic purposes, but in most cases this will not extend the bloom time.
