Hemerocallis 'Mauna Loa' – Warm golden amber daylily with subtle red edge

Hemerocallis 'Mauna Loa' is a striking daylily that adds warmth and vibrancy to any garden. The large flowers have a brilliant golden amber hue reminiscent of a summer sunset. In many flowers, this warm color is further accentuated by a fine red edge along the petals, creating a particularly elegant contrast. With a flower diameter of approximately 12 cm and a height of about 60 cm, this cultivar is a real eye-catcher in borders and perennial plantings.

Flowering occurs from the early to mid-season, allowing Hemerocallis 'Mauna Loa' to add color to the garden early on and combine excellently with other summer-flowering perennials. The warm gold and amber tones combine beautifully with purple, blue, and white flowers, but also create an atmospheric ensemble with ornamental grasses.

This robust daylily is known for its vigorous growth and easy care. It grows best in a sunny to lightly shaded location in well-drained, nutritious soil. Once established, the plant is resistant to dry periods and requires little maintenance. Removing spent flowers keeps the plant looking neat and ensures optimal flowering.

Hemerocallis 'Mauna Loa' is described as dormant to semi-evergreen. Depending on winter conditions, the foliage dies back completely or partially, and the plant sprouts vigorously again in spring. Thanks to its excellent winter hardiness, this cultivar is suitable for almost any garden in the Netherlands and Belgium.

The colorful flowers attract bees, bumblebees, and other pollinating insects and contribute to a vibrant, biodiversity-friendly garden. Are you looking for a low-maintenance daylily with warm golden amber flowers and a unique appearance? Then Hemerocallis 'Mauna Loa' is an excellent choice for years of flowering pleasure.
