Daylily Siloam Virginia Henson

Hemerocallis Siloam Virginia Henson is a slightly smaller daylily than the others. It is about 45 cm tall, but the flower is still quite large, 10 cm round in diameter. It was registered already in 1979 and since then it has collected one award after another. Adorned in a lovely cream-pink hue, featuring a prominent orange eye and a vibrant green throat, this daylily is a sight to behold. Give it a try, and you'll be delighted you did.

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.
