Hemerocallis 'Strawberry Candy'

Strawberry Candy Daylily

Hemerocallis ‘Strawberry Candy’ is a popular reblooming perennial valued for its vibrant color contrast and long flowering season. Arching, strap-like green leaves form a dense clump in spring, followed by abundant, medium to large bright strawberry-pink flowers with a bold red eye zone and yellow throat beginning in early summer and continuing intermittently into late summer, with each bloom lasting a day but produced continuously over time. Its striking color pattern makes it a standout in sunny borders.
