Hemerocallis Forty-second Street: Rely on Daylily Forty-second Street for over-the-top beauty and plenty of it!
This stunning double-flowered, bicolor is a rebloomer that regales you with one heavy flush of color in early to midsummer, then reappears at the end of the season for an encore!
And when you consider that each flower measures 5 inches wide and is suffused with rich pink and rosy tones hard to find on most Daylilies, Forty-second Street gives you almost an embarrassment of riches!These petal-packed flowers are just gorgeous, with neatly crimped edges making every curve stand out. Special enough to use as a cutflower for a day-long arrangement of exceptional beauty, they were the runner-up for the American Hemerocallis Society’s Award for Best Double, and one look shows you why. Rich color in a lovely combination, elegantly held on large flowers — you just can’t beat this look!But attractive flowers are just the beginning of Forty-second Street’s charms. It is a reblooming Daylily, which means you can expect a second flush of bloom toward fall — just when the garden needs a shot of warm color! And even after the blooms pass, Forty-second Street stays lovely, with fresh, evergreen foliage right through winter in all but the most northern climates! A great choice for mass planting, edging, and other standout garden features.Like all Daylilies, Forty-second Street is exceptionally easy to grow, thriving in just about any sunny, well-drained spot. Once established in your garden, it is very forgiving of heat, humidity, drought, and poor soil — not only will it thrive, it will spread, and you can divide the plant every few years to double your flower power and give away new plants to friends. Wherever you plant it, Forty-second Street will flourish for many years with a minimum of help from you! Enjoy this super-easy, super-beautiful plant! Zones 5-9
