Rainbow Rhythm® Daylilies bloom in yellow, orange, peach, pink, ruby, and deep purple, and are easy to grow in sunny perennial gardens. Sixteen selections range from compact rebloomers to taller cultivars with flowers reaching 7, 8, or even 9 inches across.
Daylilies Chosen for Color, Flower Size & Garden Presence
Rainbow Rhythm® includes compact yellow rebloomers, peach doubles, richly patterned eyes, deep purple flowers, and towering orange or ruby-red cultivars. Heights range from about 18 to 38 inches, giving gardeners several layers to work with in a sunny perennial border.

Easy Perennials for Sunny Beds
Daylilies adapt to a wide range of soils, tolerate summer weather once established, and return from established clumps year after year.
Sixteen Flower Choices
Explore the Rainbow Rhythm® Color Range
Yellow and orange sit beside coral, pink, ruby, wine, and purple, with eyes, picotee edges, ruffles, spider forms, and fully double flowers adding another layer of variation.
Going Bananas reaches about 19 to 22 inches tall, making it one of the lower Rainbow Rhythm® choices. Lemon-yellow flowers appear just above the foliage clump.
Astilbe contributes upright flower texture nearby, and the fine foliage of Arkansas Blue Star creates a soft background behind the daylily leaves.
Going Bananas starts early in the daylily season and can continue producing flowers through summer and into fall.

Rainbow Rhythm® Daylily Care
Give Daylilies Sun, Consistent Moisture & Room to Expand
Established daylilies are adaptable, but sunlight, drainage, and regular moisture during active growth support better flowering.
Light
Aim for Six Hours of Direct Sun
Full sun is needed for the heaviest flowering. Daylilies tolerate light shade, and bloom count may decrease as shade increases.
Soil
Plant in Rich, Well-Drained Soil
Daylilies adapt to many soil types and pH levels. Compost or other organic matter can improve garden soil before planting.
Water
Keep Moisture Consistent During Active Growth
Regular water helps as foliage and flower buds develop. Established plants tolerate some dry periods, but extended drought can reduce flowering.
Deadheading
Remove Spent Flowers
Each individual flower lasts one day. Removing finished blooms keeps the clump tidy and directs energy away from seed production.
Division
Divide Crowded Clumps
Daylilies expand and develop dense root clumps. Divide them every few years when flowering declines or the center becomes crowded.
Seasonal Cleanup
Remove Old Foliage Before Spring Growth
Cut dead foliage back near the base before fresh shoots emerge. Finished flower stalks can also be removed after bloom.
Siloam Peony Contributes Soft Peach In a Layered Summer Planting
Siloam Peony reaches about 18 inches tall and carries ruffled peony-like flowers on long stems.
In this planting, peach double flowers sit below Russian sage and boxwood. Low stonecrop fills the lower layer beneath the daylily.
The three-level planting lets the peach flowers stay visible and covers bare soil around the base.
Front Walkway Planting
Sound of My Heart Draws Attention to a Path Planting
Pastel pink flowers feature a broad wine-purple eye and matching edge for a detailed pattern that deserves a closer look.
Its 28-inch height makes the flowers visible along the walkway, and taller baptisia behind it forms a textured back layer.
This cultivar can rebloom, extending its contribution beyond the first summer flush.
Rainbow Rhythm® in the Landscape
Use Daylilies as Repeated Color Through Sunny Beds
Their narrow foliage and upright flower stalks fit easily between perennials with rounded, feathery, or broad leaves.
Foundation Color
Going Bananas rises behind silver dusty miller and low pink begonias for a layered yellow, silver, and pink planting.
Tiger Swirl in a Mixed Border
Golden flowers sit among hibiscus, marigolds, Shasta daisies, and wallflower for a relaxed summer-garden look.
Orange Smoothie
Mango-orange flowers glow beside violet hardy geraniums. Yellow daylilies and white Shasta daisies create an elegant background.
Garden Color Inspiration
Build a Summer Palette Around Ruby Spider
Ruby Spider has long ruby-red petals surrounding a broad golden-yellow throat. Those two colors are easy to blend with nearby foliage and flowers.
Heart to Heart® Burning Heart caladium continues the deep red tones through its foliage, and Be My® Main Squeeze™ calla lily echoes the warm yellow daylily throats. The vase shows how those colors can blend effortlessly in a garden planting plan.
In the landscape, Ruby Spider reaches about 34 inches tall, so its large flowers rise above lower foliage plants and create a powerful focal point.

Primal Scream has tangerine-orange flowers, Orange Smoothie has mango-orange petals, and Lake of Fire has apricot-orange flowers with orange-red markings.
Do deer eat daylilies?
Yes. Deer may browse daylily foliage and flowers, so protection or repellent can be helpful in gardens with regular deer activity. Rainbow Rhythm® selections are commonly listed as rabbit resistant.
Should Rainbow Rhythm Daylilies be deadheaded?
Removing spent flowers keeps the planting tidy and prevents energy from going into seed production. Cut finished flower stalks back to the base when all buds on the stalk have opened.
When should daylilies be divided?
Divide mature clumps every few years when they become crowded or flowering declines. Early spring and late summer after flowering are good times for division.
