About this plant
Hemerocallis 'Rosy Returns' offers charming, rose-pink blooms with a soft, rounded form that brings a touch of elegance to the garden. Each flower is accented by a subtle lavender eye zone and a bright yellow-green throat, creating a delicate contrast within the warm hues of the petals. This daylily's ruffled petals and inviting colors make it a favorite for brightening borders and perennial beds alike.
One of the special features of 'Rosy Returns' is its long blooming season, which begins in early summer and often continues with multiple flushes well into early autumn, showcasing its reliable reblooming ability. Developed for lasting performance and color, this daylily cultivar is ideal for gardeners seeking continuous, soft-toned color throughout the season. Its compact form and repeat flowering make it especially versatile in mixed plantings or as a feature in smaller garden spaces.

Design tip
Fall bloom is its strength, and it earns a place near a path or seating area used late in the year. Because it is easy about light, use it to carry a planting from a sunny end of the bed into the shadier side.
