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.
