Elegant Candy Daylily

‘Elegant Candy’ is a fragrant, reblooming daylily with pink flowers, a red eyezone, and a green throat. Its compact clump and repeated summer flowers suit borders where a smaller daylily can be enjoyed close up. ## Landscape Use Plant it in a perennial border, cottage garden, or large container, allowing about 18–24 inches for the clump. Flowers are roughly 4¼ inches across, and stems reach about 25 inches. [Walters Gardens lists a 25-inch height, 18–24-inch spread, and USDA Zones 3–9](https://www.waltersgardens.com/variety.php?ID=HMELC). [Oakes Daylilies confirms the pink flowers, red eyezone, fragrance, early-to-midseason bloom, and rebloom](https://oakesdaylilies.com/collections/rebloomers/products/elegant-candy-daylily). ## Growing Conditions Choose full sun or partial shade and fertile soil that stays evenly moist but drains well. Daylilies adapt to clay, loam, and sandy soils; improve drainage in heavy ground rather than leaving the crown waterlogged. More sun generally supports better flowering, while light afternoon shade can help in hot locations. The RHS also records ‘Elegant Candy’ in full sun or partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. ## Seasonal Interest This dormant selection flowers in early to mid summer and can rebloom later, with timing varying by region and weather. ## Maintenance Remove finished flower stems for a tidy appearance. Divide a crowded clump in early spring or early autumn; newly planted divisions need steady water while their roots establish.
