Hemerocallis 'Pink Damask'
A beautiful daylily producing large, ruffled blooms in rich rosy-pink shades throughout summer.
Hemerocallis 'Pink Damask' bears elegant, trumpet-shaped flowers in warm pink tones with a soft golden throat and gently ruffled petals. The blooms are held above attractive arching foliage and appear in succession over many weeks, creating a colourful display from early to mid-summer. The flowers are popular with pollinating insects and bring a classic cottage garden feel to mixed borders.
Thriving in full sun or partial shade, this dependable perennial forms robust clumps that return larger and more floriferous each year. It is adaptable to most garden soils, provided they do not become waterlogged, and its easy-going nature makes it an excellent choice for both experienced and novice gardeners.
