Daylily (Hemerocallis x 'South Seas') - Description
Hemerocallis 'South Seas' is a new Designer Daylilytrade; with a totally unique coral-pink color! This bright color gets our attention every time in the garden and no Daylily quite compares to it. The pinkish-coral 5" flowers have a deeper red-coral band above a small yellow-green throat. Each heavily ruffled flower has a slight gold edge that becomes more prominent as the day progresses. The well-branched scapes are loaded with 30+ buds each for many weeks of enjoyment! Hemerocallis 'South Seas' is a very good grower, and all-around excellent Daylily.
Daylily (Hemerocallis x 'South Seas') - Blooming
The funnel-shaped blooms last for only one day, but new blooms continue for weeks or months from late spring through the summer. The flowers bloom on tall stalks, starting at the top. When used as cut flowers, a single bloom will fade after one day, but the other buds will flower on subsequent days.

Beware slugs and snails which will leave the foliage unsightly. Aphids, thrips, spider mites, and hemerocallis gall midge can also cause problems. In areas with high humidity and temperatures above 90°F (32°C), crown rot becomes a major issue. After a cold winter of freezing and thawing, bacterial leaf and stem rot can occur in the spring.
