Perennials Summer blooms |
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).
Just imagine a dervish turning around in his coloured clothes - maybe this is how the breeder pictured a voodoo dancer whose name was chosen for this daylily variety. Voodoo Dancer is a semi double tetraploid daylily variety (with 4 sets of chromosomes: total 44 in each cell) from 2001. The flowers are 14 cm across, dark burgundy red with lighter margins and golden throat. Flowers come out from late July and rebloom in late August or early September. Stems are 50-60 cm tall and leaves are semi-evergreen.
Dailily 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 daylilies in 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).
