Perennials
Hemerocallis 'Wineberry Candy'
Wineberry Candy Daylily
Hemerocallis 'Wineberry Candy' is a stunning daylily known for its vibrant blooms and distinctive color pattern. From mid-summer to early fall, this variety produces large, fragrant flowers. Each bloom features rich pink petals with a deep, wineberry-colored eye zone that surrounds a greenish-yellow throat. The ruffled petals add a delicate texture, enhancing the flower's visual appeal.
The blooms are short-lived, as with all daylilies, but they come in succession, providing a continuous show of color over the blooming season.

Design tip
The long summer show pairs well with plants that peak earlier, keeping one area interesting for months. It takes sun or light shade, which makes it useful along the changing light of a bed edge or a partly shaded border.
Where to see it
This plant can be seen in the perennial border at the Bellevue Botanical Garden.
