Rosy Return Daylily

Rosy Return Daylily is a compact, repeat-blooming perennial featuring rosy-pink flowers with lightly ruffled edges and glowing yellow-green throats. Its extended flowering season, arching green foliage, and adaptable garden performance make it an excellent choice for borders, walkways, foundation beds, slopes, and mass plantings.

Why choose Rosy Return Daylily?

Choose Rosy Return Daylily for its combination of romantic flower color, compact proportions, and dependable rebloom. The softly ruffled blossoms appear on stems held neatly above the foliage, creating an attractive display without overwhelming smaller garden spaces. After its early summer flush, established plants can send up additional flowers through the season when provided with ample sunlight and moisture. Its tidy clumping habit works beautifully near paths, at the front of perennial borders, or in broad sweeps that provide recurring landscape color.

Rosy Return Daylily Additional Information

Rosy Return Daylily forms a graceful mound of narrow green foliage, with flower stems generally reaching approximately 18 inches tall. Its blossoms measure about 4 inches across and display clear rosy-pink petals, gently ruffled margins, and a bright yellow to green throat. Individual flowers remain open for about one day, but numerous buds open in succession to sustain the display.

The primary bloom typically begins in early summer, followed by recurring flowers into late summer or early fall under favorable conditions. Consistent moisture during dry weather and removal of finished flower stems help maintain an attractive plant and support continued blooming. The foliage is generally dormant in cold-winter regions, dying back after hard freezes before returning from the crown in spring. Use Rosy Return Daylily along walkways, in foundation beds, near the front of sunny borders, on slopes, or massed as an easy-care flowering groundcover. Mature clumps may be divided in spring or after flowering when they become crowded.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Select a location with full sun to light afternoon shade and fertile, well-drained soil. Position the crown about 1 inch below the soil surface, spread the roots outward, and space plants 18 to 24 inches apart.

2. Watering: Water deeply and consistently during establishment. Once rooted, provide supplemental moisture during extended dry periods, particularly while buds are forming and between flowering cycles, to encourage healthy foliage and reliable rebloom.

3. Fertilizing: Incorporate compost when planting and apply a balanced fertilizer in spring according to soil-test recommendations. Moderate nutrition supports strong flowering while preserving the plant’s naturally compact habit.

4. Pruning: Remove spent flower stalks after each flush to keep the clump tidy. Leave healthy foliage in place until it yellows naturally, then clear away dormant growth in late fall or early spring.
