Orange Daylily (Hemerocallis fulva 'Kwanso') - Description
A gorgeous, rare double daylily that just glows with its surreal, bright orange color. Considered a medicinal strain in China (as its name implies- translates to 'forget your worries'), it is an edible flower used in cuisine here in the United States. The double flowers tend to hang in there a little longer than the usual one day that most daylilies hold their flowers. Plant this in any soil and it should take off nicely....fantastically so, if planted in rich soil in full sunlight!
Orange Daylily (Hemerocallis fulva 'Kwanso') - Blooming
The funnel-shaped blooms last for only one day, but new blooms continue for weeks or months from late spring through the summer. The flowers bloom on tall stalks, starting at the top. When used as cut flowers, a single bloom will fade after one day, but the other buds will flower on subsequent days.
Orange Daylily (Hemerocallis fulva 'Kwanso') - Growth
Daylilies are hardy, long-lived perennials. They like full or partial sun, and will turn to face it.
Orange Daylily (Hemerocallis fulva 'Kwanso') - Planting
Divide the plants, as cultivars do not come true from seed. When they become overcrowded, begin to flower less, or in the early spring or early fall, you can divide.
Orange Daylily (Hemerocallis fulva 'Kwanso') - Pest
Beware slugs and snails which will leave the foliage unsightly. Aphids, thrips, spider mites, and hemerocallis gall midge can also cause problems. In areas with high humidity and temperatures above 90°F (32°C), crown rot becomes a major issue. After a cold winter of freezing and thawing, bacterial leaf and stem rot can occur in the spring.
