Hemerocallis ‘Daring Deception’ (daylily Daring Deception) £5.99
Position: full sun to partial shade Soil: fertile, moist, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: summer Hardiness: fully hardy An excellent example and one that has been a talking point amongst daylily growers. They describe it as a ‘fancy face’ daylily with large blooms up to 13cm that are ruffled creamy pink with a dark purple edge and eye. The slightly fragrant flowers appear from early to midsummer and is a consistant rebloomer. Also semi-evergreen. This variety is also a super bloomer and can have up to 23 flowers on a stem when mature. Garden care: The Greek term ‘hemerocallis’ means ‘beautiful for a day’, and daylilies need regular deadheading to prolong flowering and prevent their unsightly deadheads from dominating the scene. Each stem carries several flowers, so snap off each flower as it fades. When the stem has finished flow ering, cut it down to the ground. After the plant has finished flowering altoge ther, pull out the dead leaves. When the foliage is looking tatty, cut it down to the ground and fresh new growth will appear. Lift and divide every three years in spring to keep the rhizomes vigorous and apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant. Water frequently from spring until the buds appear.
