Daylily Okaňa

If you want to have an extraordinary perennial in your garden, different than the others, this is it. There are a lot of yellow, pink, orange or other daylilies. Many of them are more or less similar. Therefore, it is difficult to find a cultivar that is specific, extraordinary, special, the only one of its kind. One such cultivar we offer you here. The daylily Okaňa was hybridized in Slovakia. In the middle of the light pink, almost white, smaller blossom is a large, dark, burgundy-winecolored eye. The throat is green. Heavy substance. It forms a lower, compact clump. Creamy white with a dark-burgundy eye and green throat. It begins to bloom in mid-June and blooms repeatedly with minor breaks until early October.

How to grow daylilies

Reserve full sunlight or light shade area in your garden to plant daylilies. Daylilies like sunshine so much but be careful, in hot areas, they do not grow well in completely dry soil on sunny place. Daylilies also like an average amount of moisture in the soil but will not be happy in soils that are water logged. Give them water regularly during their first one or two growing seasons. Their flowers will be larger and will bloom richer if regularly watered in the first part of the season.

When in bloom, feel free to cut the flowers for bouquets or even decorating of salads (as the flowers are edible). This will not injure your plants. While each flower blooms only a single day, choose stems with several larger buds.

After blooming has finished, leave the foliage in place, don't cut it off. The leaves will gather sunlight and will provide nourishment for the next year's show. Your daylilies will need rest for a few months, before beginning the next growing season.
