Happy Returns daylilies, yellow blooms in the nursery rows

Reblooming Daylilies

Most daylilies put on one big show and then call it a year. Rebloomers don't stop there. After the first flush of flowers, they send up new scapes (bloom stalks) and bloom again later in the summer, and some keep going in waves until fall. If you want color for more than a few weeks, this is the place to start.

How much a plant reblooms depends on your garden. A long, warm season, steady water and a sunny spot all help. Gardeners in the South usually see more repeat bloom than gardeners up North, where the season is shorter. Young plants often rebloom more once they've settled in for a year. So think of rebloom as a bonus that grows with the plant, not a promise of nonstop flowers.

We carry well over a hundred named rebloomers in just about every color and form: big ruffled tetraploids, spiders, doubles and little edging plants. Each plant page lists bloom season, height and foliage type, so you can line up early, mid and late bloomers and keep the garden going all summer.

Getting them home: Every plant here is grown at our nursery in Vale, North Carolina. Pick yours up free in a full 3-gallon grow bag, or have it shipped bare-root, with the shipping cost shown in your cart. Daylilies are tough, forgiving perennials that grow in most of the country. If you garden in the far North or the Deep South, check the foliage type on each plant page.

FAQ

What does reblooming mean?

The plant blooms more than once in a season. After the first round of flowers, it sends up new scapes and blooms again later in summer or into fall.

Will it rebloom the first year?

Sometimes, but it's not guaranteed. Rebloom gets stronger once a plant is established, and it depends on heat, water and season length where you live.

How do I get more rebloom?

Give it full sun, water during dry spells, and snap off finished scapes. A light feeding in spring helps too.
