Orange mango flowers pop open in summers on the Rainbow Rhythm Orange Smoothie Daylily, giving your garden a tropical look. This daylily is perfect for planting near sidewalks, driveways and streets because it is salt tolerant. But you'll also want some of fragrant Orange Smoothie daylilies near your patio or on your deck just to enjoy their sweet fragrance. Watch for the stunning blooms in mid-summer in most regions and for re-blooming, a great feature to have in a daylily.
Rainbow Rhythm Orange Smoothie Daylily also is deer and rabbit tolerant. But it attracts bees and butterflies to its fragrant blossoms. The plant grows to about two feet tall with a nice form of mounding leaves even before the flower stalks form. Plant this daylily (Hemerocallis) hybrid in a group or as a focal point along garden or hardscape borders or in containers. It makes a great container filler with its thin green foliage.
Rainbow Rhythm Orange Smoothie Daylily Care
This daylily performs best in full or part sun in zones 3 through 9. It's one of the easiest plants you can grow in your yard; place it in just about any type of soil and give it average water. Feed the plant with any balanced fertilizer each spring. Just prune off faded blossoms after they wilt to encourage new blooming. You can divide daylilies every few years if they become too thick.
Rainbow Rhythm Orange Smoothie Daylily Spacing
Space your Rainbow Rhythm Orange Smoothie Daylilies about two feet apart for the best look at mature height. Then, sit back and join the butterflies in enjoying their tropical look and pretty fragrance.
