Hemerocallis 'Frans Hals' - Organic perennial

Hemerocallis ‘Frans Hals’, also known as daylily, is a colourful and robust perennial that stands out for its striking two-toned flowers. The petals combine warm orange and reddish-brown shades with a distinctive yellow central stripe. This vibrant colour combination adds a cheerful touch to any flower border.

The daylily usually flowers from June to August. Each flower lasts only one day, but the numerous buds open in succession, providing several weeks of colourful blooms. Its narrow, arching leaves form dense clumps and provide attractive green foliage outside the flowering season.

Hemerocallis ‘Frans Hals’ grows best in a sunny to partially shaded position, preferably in fertile, humus-rich and well-drained soil. Once established, it tolerates short periods of drought reasonably well. It is also very hardy and requires little maintenance.

This daylily is ideal for colourful borders, group plantings and planting near pond edges. Combine it with ornamental grasses or other perennials for a lively and varied garden.
