Daylily 'Sears Tower'

Daylily ‘Sears Tower’

Daylilies (Hemerocallis sp.) are hardy, fast‑growing evergreen perennials prized for their dramatic summer displays. Their vibrant, trumpet‑shaped flowers create striking contrast in borders, mass plantings, and containers.

Tough, versatile, and low‑maintenance, daylilies suit both beginner and experienced gardeners. Their neat, grassy foliage stays attractive year‑round, while blooms appear over a long season. Ideal for borders, mass plantings, or erosion control, they add effortless colour and structure to any garden.

Although each bloom lasts only a day, well‑established plants flower continuously through summer, providing long‑lasting colour with minimal care. Thriving in full sun to semi‑shade and tolerant of short dry spells once established, they’re perfectly suited to South African gardens.
