Daylily Seal Of Approval The Daylily Seal of Approval, 'Hemerocallis', displays soft white petals that are frosted in the delicate shades of rosy lavender on slightly ruffled edges. With a bright daffodil-yellow eye, this is a semi-evergreen variety and a mid-season re-bloomer. Bloom is lavish and continues for several weeks or more on each plant. Trouble-free, maintenance-free, they tolerate most soils and conditions if they get at least 6 hours of sun. Use them in a perennial border, in front of shrubbery, as an edging along a walk or wall, and in your bulb beds, where they hide the ripening foliage of tulips and daffodils. They need dividing only every 10-15 years. Plants 18-24" apart.
