Strawberry Candy Daylily

Strawberry Candy is a semi-evergreen daylily with strawberry-pink flowers, a rose-red eye zone, and a golden-green throat. The American Daylily Society records 26-inch scapes, early-midseason bloom, extended flowering, and rebloom; Gurney’s lists a 24–26-inch height and an 18–24-inch spread.

The RHS notes that flowering decreases in shadier sites and recommends watering freely from spring into summer.

Its repeat flowering and extended bloom habit can add another flush after the first wave, although timing depends on the growing season.

Daylilies can be divided in early spring or late summer; divisions should retain several fans and a healthy root system.
