Hemerocallis 'MY REGGAE TIGER'

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).

My Reggae Tiger is a stunning, large-flowered daylily for lovers of rich and vibrant colours. It is a tetraploid with up to 15 cm wide flowers of rich fiery orange colour with less conspicuous, slightly deeper orange eye. They appear atop not so tall stems (55-60 cm) from mid July for 3 to 4 weeks. It was bred by Dutch specialist nursery Heemskerk and registered in 2006.

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).
