Hemerocallis Apricot Sparkles (Reblooming Daylily)

Everblooming, Hemerocallis 'Apricot Sparkles' is a lovely Daylily that enjoys profuse blooms of perfectly formed, apricot trumpets with golden throats and ruffled petal margins, over an extremely long blooming period. The flowers look diamond-dusted and sparkle in the sun, hence the cultivar name. Each flower, up to 4 in. wide (10 cm), typically lasts no more than 24 hours (thus the common name 'Daylily'), opening up in the morning and withering during the forthcoming night, possibly replaced by another one on the same scape (flower stalk) the next day. This extra early season Daylily is diploid and dormant (deciduous). Perfect for small gardens or containers!

• Often called the 'perfect perennial' because of its numerous qualities: showy flowers, drought tolerance, heat stress immunity, ability to grow in most hardiness zones, and low care requirements, this Daylily is a remarkable and stunning addition to the garden.
• Blooming from early summer to frost, this clump-forming deciduous perennial grows up to 18 in. tall (45 cm) and spreads slowly via rhizomes to 18-24 in. (45-60 cm). Do not hesitate to mix this lovely Daylily with other varieties to prolong their color blossoms in the garden. Native to Eurasia, Hemerocallis includes over 60,000 registered cultivars, so you have plenty of choices!
• An ideal choice for shrub borders or perennial beds, as ground covers on slopes or in containers near the patio.
• Thrives in full sun or part sun in average, moist, well-drained soils. While it performs well in a wide range of soils, fertile loam is preferred. Tolerates heat and summer humidity, but thorough watering is required to ensure its foliage remains attractive.
• Daylilies attract butterflies and hummingbirds but are toxic to cats. Rabbits tend to avoid daylilies.
• No serious pest or disease issues. Keep an eye out for mites, aphids, thrips, or daylily rust.
• The best time to plant Daylilies is in early fall or early spring.
• After flowering, remove spent blooms and seedpods to improve the appearance and encourage rebloom. When all the flowers on a scape are finished, cut off the scape close to ground level. Remove dead foliage from daylilies as they die back in the fall.
