This is not your typical daylily! Daring Deception is far superior in many ways to the humdrum yellow and orange types that we are all used to seeing. Not that there is anything wrong with those but, let’s face it, they are definitely lacking in style. But not these daylilies with their striking 5.5 inch blossoms in contrasting colors of pink outer petals and deep purple centers on plants that can reach a height of 20 to 24 inches with a spread of 24 to 36 inches. This reblooming daylily flowers from early summer into fall and is sure to be the star of the perennial garden.
Daylilies are low maintenance and easy to care for perennials with few, if any, insect pests or diseases. This particular daylily is evergreen to semi-evergreen in mild winter climates, does well in an urban environment and is drought tolerant once established. It would be a wonderful choice as a mass planting, an accent planting in the perennial or patio garden, walkway or pathway planting and growing in a pot or container. Winter hardy in zones 3 to 8. Daylilies grown in pots or containers would need to be planted in garden soil for the winter where temperatures fall below freezing for an extended period of time and repotted in spring. This perennial is not a favorite of deer or small herbivores. Native to Eurasia.
Daring Deception Daylily Care
Daylilies perform best in full sun to partial shade and although they tolerate a wide range of soils they prefer a moist, but well-drained fertile soil. They are accepting of a wide pH range from moderately acidic to alkaline.
Deadheading is not necessary but may be done to maintain a neat appearance to the plant. Daylily clumps may be divided every 3 to 5 years in late summer. Cut back passed foliage to the ground in late fall.
Daring Deception Daylily Spacing
Daylilies should be spaced approximately 18 to 24 inches apart if grown as a mass planting, in the perennial border, patio, walkway or pathway planting or if grown in pots or containers.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
