Daylily 'Angel's Braid'
Hemerocallis 'Angel's Braid'Angel Braid is a stunning daylily variety prized for its beautifully ruffled petals and soft, luminous coloration. Its blooms often feature creamy pastels, warm undertones, or delicate blush hues, accented by intricate petal edges that resemble braided detailing, hence its name. Each flower lasts only one day, but the plant produces them in generous succession, ensuring continuous color throughout the summer months. The blooms rise above fountains of arching, grass-like foliage, creating a graceful and airy garden presence.
This variety is especially valued for its hardiness and adaptability, thriving in a wide range of climates and soil conditions. Daylily Angel Braid is an excellent choice for mixed perennial borders, cottage-style plantings, foundation beds, or mass plantings meant to create a soft, romantic mood. Like most daylilies, it is low maintenance and forgiving, performing reliably even in heat, humidity, or less-than-ideal soil. With its elegant appearance and easy-care nature, Angel Braid brings a perfect blend of refinement and resilience to the garden.
Care Instructions
Planting
Plant in full sun to maximize bloom production. Space 18–24 inches apart in well-drained, compost-enriched soil. Light shade is tolerated in hot climates.
Watering
Water deeply once weekly during active growth. Established plants are drought-tolerant but produce more blooms with consistent moisture.
Pruning
Deadhead spent blooms to encourage reblooming. Trim foliage to the ground in late fall or early spring before new growth emerges.
Pest Control
Monitor for thrips, aphids, and daylily rust. Remove affected leaves, improve airflow, and treat with horticultural oil or insecticidal soap if needed.
Soil Tips
Grows best in fertile, well-drained soil with moderate organic matter. Slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0) is ideal for healthy growth.
