Daylily Snowy Eyes

Daylilies (Hemerocallis) are eye-catching perennials known for their exotic, trumpet-shaped blooms that resemble lilies. The name Hemerocallis comes from the Greek for "beautiful for a day," reflecting the fact that each individual flower lasts for less than 24 hours. However, the plants produce a continuous succession of blooms, ensuring a vibrant and long-lasting display throughout summer and into autumn.

Hemerocallis Snowy Eyes is a unique and elegant daylily variety known for its striking colouring and fringed petals. The creamy yellow flowers have a showy purple eye. Each flower opens for just one day, but the plant produces many buds over an extended mid-summer period.

Forming neat clumps of arching green foliage, ‘Snowy Eyes’ brings structure and texture to the garden even when not in bloom. It's a reliable and low-maintenance perennial, thriving in a range of soils and weather conditions. This variety is perfect for borders, cottage gardens, and mixed beds, and it also draws in pollinators like bees and butterflies.
