Hemerocallis 'Carefree Peach'
Carefree Peach Daylily
Hemerocallis ‘Carefree Peach’ is a dependable perennial valued for its soft peach-colored blooms and easy-care nature. Arching, strap-like green leaves form a dense clump in spring, followed by abundant, medium-sized peach flowers with a warm yellow throat in mid-summer, with each bloom lasting a day but produced continuously over several weeks. Its gentle color and reliability make it a versatile choice for sunny plantings.
