Hemerocallis 'Summer Wine' – Vigorous daylily with large violet-colored flowers

Hemerocallis 'Summer Wine' is an impressive diploid daylily known for its vigorous growth and intensely colored flowers. The large violet-colored flowers have a deep, rich hue that immediately catches the eye and forms a beautiful contrast with the fresh green foliage. Thanks to the sturdy, robust flower stalks, the flowers remain upright, even in changing weather conditions. With a height of approximately 60 cm and a generous flower diameter of 15 cm, this cultivar is a striking eye-catcher in any border.

Flowering occurs in the middle of the season, when the garden is in full bloom. The intense violet color combines perfectly with perennials in white, pink, yellow, or silver-gray shades and forms a beautiful ensemble with ornamental grasses. Thanks to its large flowers and strong color, Hemerocallis 'Summer Wine' provides a luxurious look in both classic and modern gardens.

This daylily is deciduous (dormant). In autumn, the foliage dies back completely, after which the plant sprouts vigorously again in spring. Thanks to this natural dormancy period, Hemerocallis 'Summer Wine' is exceptionally winter-hardy and highly suitable for the Dutch and Belgian climates. The plant grows best in a sunny to lightly shaded location in well-drained, nutritious soil. Once established, it tolerates short dry periods well and requires little maintenance.

In addition to its impressive ornamental value, this daylily also attracts bees, bumblebees, and other pollinating insects. In doing so, it makes a valuable contribution to a vibrant and biodiversity-friendly garden. Furthermore, thanks to its strong flower stems and large flowers, this cultivar is suitable as a cut flower for colorful summer bouquets.

Are you looking for a vigorous, hardy daylily with large violet-colored flowers and an intense appearance? Then Hemerocallis 'Summer Wine' is an excellent choice that will provide color and elegance in your garden for years to come.
