Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Peach Magnolia')

Blooms reliably and multiplies well. Quite top branched. As I recall, slightly shorter than registered here.

It has always been good here in zone 6 and I have never seen it boom single,always a full double

I had this plant for many years and I would still have it, if I hadn't accidently dug it up and gave it to a friend by mistake. It always bloomed pretty consistent and I even had it rebloom a couple of times. It also was hardy here and increased fairly well.

I have had this one at least 10 years, a very stable plant. It hasn't multiplied very fast, but that can be a good thing. Dependable bloomer, always blooms nice double, & occasionally reblooms a bit.

I know I sound like a broken record, but doubles are not my favorite form. However... the color of Peach Magnolia endears me to it every year when it blooms.

2004 was the first year I purchased known hybridized daylilies and I got a double fan of Peach Magnolia for $7 that year. It has been divided multiple times and moved at least 3 times. It is now 10 fans strong in its latest location.

It does not get rust, so my score on it this year is 1. It gets about 2 to 3-way branching and about 6-10 blooms. It blooms in my zone 6b garden from late June to about mid-July, about 2 weeks. So even though it is registered as a Mid-Late Rebloomer, I think of it more as a mid. I have never seen it rebloom.

Peach Magnolia has always doubled for me. Like hillbilly, I don't recall ever seeing it single.

This picture kind of shows the low branching and bud count.


The form kind of reminds me of a peony at times.


I love the 32" height on Peach Magnolia and it blooms well above the foliage. I don't have the Summer Wine ninebark anymore, but the color of Peach Magnolia went very well with it.

I love Peach Magnolia! I've had it in front of a Niko Blue Hydrangea for many years,. I finally had to pull it forward this season as it was getting overrun by the bush. It has always bloomed beautifully and reliably double.

Oh wow! Peach Magnolia and that hydrangea were made for each other:) I will have to consider that because PM will always have a place in my garden.

So… sadly, Peach Magnolia did not like being moved away from the Hydrangea. It pouted this summer and barely bloomed. I got 6 blooms between July 18 to August 4. Hoping it will do better after another year to settle down.

Nope. No better in 2022. Bloomed July 16-25 with 6 blooms. Sigh. I know the real problem is that the front garden has become too shady to support Daylilies.

2023, similar story. PM bloomed from July 17-28 with only 9 blooms. This is why I hate moving Daylilies! It can take them years to recover, if they ever do!
