The undeniable beauty of the 'Roswitha' daylily develops from an underground rhizome. The abundant tufts of these breath-taking perennials are responsible for the introduction of summer decorations to flower beds. The noble 'Roswitha' daylily belongs to the truly exceptional varieties. Its double medium sized bicolour blooms offer a true feast for the senses. The apricot coloured frilled ends of the petals turn crimson red in the middle and the centre of flower adds a touch of bright lemon yellow. The rather low growing, 30 to 40 centimetres tall, 'Roswitha' daylily attracts attention of many plant collectors.

This undemanding and long lived flowering plant will surprise you with its abundant blooming every year. It is a treasure of many garden arrangements. The magnificent rows of the dense grass-like leaf blades that surround the erect uniquely shaped flowers provide a great solution for lower flower beds or edgings of taller arrangements. Daylilies are also recommended for pond and path edgings. The compact 'Roswitha' variety will also perfectly fill planters. A mobile daylily decoration allows to create a relaxing ambience on a balcony or terrace. The contrasting colouring of daylily flowers will make your places of relaxation even more pleasant.

Daylilies can be grown on various sites, as this plant can adapt to different conditions. It only does not tolerate complete shade.  Standard average garden soil suits it fine, provided you enrich it with a dab of compost. The maintenance of daylily tufts is limited to watering during drought periods and removing the last year's foliage in spring. We also recommend to fertilize the rootstocks from time to time.

Daylily rhizomes should be planted early in spring or in autumn. Place them circa 5 cm deep and about 30 to 60 cm apart. The 'Roswitha' is a long lived perennial just like other varieties of this species and can grow at the same site for years. It winters well in the ground - we recommend to cut off the leaves and cover the plant with a thin layer of mulch after the first frost.
