Notes
'Swedish Girl' daylily (Hemerocallis 'Swedish Girl') is a perennial for borders and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average soil. The fragrant pale lavender blooms open in spring and summer, and butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit them. It sits low on the menu for rabbits. This daylily also tolerates drought and salt.
Pairs well with Empress Wu hosta, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Shrub rose.
