Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Tropic Sunset')

I do love this Daylily, I've had it since 2012. It's one of the earliest to open in my yard and goes until about mid season. It is varying shades of Coral and Rose, depending on the weather but always satisfying combinations. The one downside is it's tendency to get blotchy when exposed to water. Otherwise, very sturdy, dealing with hot, dry, steeply sloping conditions on Daylily Hill with no extra care until this summer, Tropic Sunset has managed quite well.

I have had Tropic Sunset since 2016, it grows and blooms well in zone 5a Maine.

2021 update. What a great year for Tropic Sunset! All the food and water and weeding, contributed to lots of bloom. It started June 24 and bloomed until July 19th with lots of clump strength bloom. A true E/M in my yard.

2022, a good year for Tropic Sunset. Bloomed from June 29- July 20, lots of flowers. There was almost no rain, so the blooms stayed pretty.

2023 update…Tropic Sunset was moved to the new Egg Bed in front of the house. This area has a lot more shade than where it was but it still flowered like a champ from July 1-16. That's not as long as last year but it had only been moved weeks before.
