Stephanie Returns Daylily
Hemerocallis ‘Stephanie Returns’Stephanie Returns Daylily is a reblooming perennial known for its soft pink flowers, compact growth habit, and reliable summer performance. From early summer through early fall, it produces trumpet-shaped blooms in shades of rosy pink with yellow-green throats held above arching grassy foliage. Individual flowers last for a single day, but the plant continuously produces new buds over an extended bloom season.
This deciduous perennial forms dense clumps and typically grows 1′ – 3′ (ft) tall with a spread of 1′ – 3′ (ft). Its manageable size and repeat blooming habit make it well-suited for borders, edging, mass plantings, and smaller garden spaces. The strappy green foliage remains attractive throughout the growing season and provides texture even when the plant is not in bloom.
Stephanie Returns Daylily performs best in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil. It adapts to a wide range of soil types and becomes drought-tolerant once established. Minimal maintenance is needed beyond removing spent flower stalks and dividing mature clumps every few years to maintain vigor.
