Hemerocallis Berrylicious (Reblooming Daylily)

Hemerocallis 'Berrylicious' (Reblooming Daylily) is a compact, semi-evergreen perennial boasting a profusion of large, velvety, brilliant raspberry flowers, 5.5 in. across (14 cm), adorned with ruffled, deeper-toned edges and a yellow-green throat. Blooming in early to mid-summer, and again later during the season, the attractive blossoms are held neatly above a compact mound of arching, linear leaves. Each flower 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. One plant can bear up to 18 flower buds for a long-lasting display. This reblooming early midseason tetraploid daylily is excellent for mass plantings, erosion control, and perennial borders.

• Grows up to 24 in. tall (60 cm) and 18-24 in. wide (45-60 cm).
• 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.
• An ideal choice for beds and borders, cottage gardens, coastal gardens, rock gardens, as a ground cover, or in containers near the patio.
• 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.
