Daylilies are flowering queens for one day. Each bloom lasts a day but there is no need to worry – every stem bears more blooms and as the plants grow older they have numerous stems each. This low-maintenance perennial is a miracle for those who have limited time to spend looking after their gardens because apart from occasional watering on hot and dry summer day it needs ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. And still it can leave us gazing at their beautiful, lily-like blooms of every possible colour you can think of (except for blue and black).

Longfields Twins is another daylily from the Longfields series bred by Dutch specialist nursery Heemskerk. This series comprises of 37 varieties to this date. Longfields Twins makes large (15 cm across), semi-double flowers of varying colours. Our plants exhibit somewhat subtle salmon pink and yellow colours, while overfertilized nursery grown plants show much deeper shades. The centre is decorated with a few dwarf petals. The flowers are fragrant and appear from about mid July until August on very strong, up to 90 cm tall stems. Leaves are wide, semi-evergreen. Registered in 2005.

The leaves are deep green, strong and healthy. They appear early in the spring and persist until winter unlike spring bulbs whose leaves wither away after flowering. Apart from occasional slug attack there are no pests or diseases they would suffer from. Put your day lilies on a sunny spot and fertilize it for better flowering every spring, if you want to. It tolerates all types of soil, preferably it likes moist soil. Very hardy to min. -40°C (USDA zone 3).
