Hemerocallis 'Postlude'

Daylily

Plant Type:

DAYLILY (HEMEROCALLIS)

Hemerocallis 'Postlude' - LIMITED AVAILABILTY - no more than 1 per customer. ​An heirloom variety from Viola Richards introduced in 1959. Pink with amber eye. The warm pink mixes with pastel orange as the day's minutes tick forward, warm and complex and lovely. Pink in the morning, think coral-orange as the day unfolds. This is said to grow 38 inches tall; however, many who have grown this cultivar report it stretching to 52 inches, perhaps to do with culture? We've seen enough accounts to believe that this fine very late flowering heirloom is taller than advertised.

Genus Overview: Hemerocallis

Common Name: Daylily

The well-known daylily. We have become increasingly taken with the late and very late bloomers. Those glorious daylily trumpets add such rich and contrasting texture to mops and strands of goldenrods, Joe-pye weeds and late season daisy flowers that occur in abundance at this time; they are splendid with the broad flattened domes of ironweeds, the spikes of Persicaria amplexicaulis ‘Firetail’ plus the seeds and berries that so opulently populate the landscape in the late season. We are offering a handful of mid-season bloomers. Of course, most of the breeding has centered about these and for this reason many of these cultivars are fancier. But we find there is elegance in the simpler flower form and gentler colors, often soft pastels, in the later selections. Most of the late bloomers but not all have originated with Olallie Daylily Gardens in South Newfane, VT. All cultivars are hardy in USDA zones 3 to 9 unless otherwise marked. All of the following are sent as bareroot divisions of our plants.
