Siloam Amazing Grace Daylily

Siloam Amazing Grace Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Siloam Amazing Grace')

Siloam Amazing Grace Daylily brings a bright and refined look to the summer garden with primrose-yellow flowers that feel both cheerful and elegant. Its clear flower color helps lighten borders and mixed perennial beds while still adding enough presence to stand out as more than just a soft accent. This variety is especially useful where you want a compact to medium-sized daylily with fragrance and a polished flower form. In sunny borders, grouped plantings, and larger containers, it adds a graceful and memorable layer of summer color.

Distinctive Features

Siloam Amazing Grace Daylily is prized for its 5.5 inch primrose-yellow self-colored flowers with a vivid green throat, pale yellow midribs and tepal edges, and lightly recurved, heavily ruffled petals. The blooms are fragrant and considered extended bloom, which helps them hold their display well through the day. Flowers are carried above clumps of dormant arching foliage on scapes that typically reach about 24 inches tall, with plants spreading about 18 to 24 inches wide over time. It is generally listed as an early to midseason bloomer, which makes it a useful choice for starting strong daylily color earlier in summer. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Growing Conditions

• Sun: Plant in full sun to part sun for the best flowering and strongest overall performance.
• Soil: Grow in average to fertile, well-drained soil, though it adapts well to a wide range of garden soils.
• Water: Provide moderate water during establishment, then maintain average moisture, with best flowering from more consistent moisture.
• Zones: Hardy in USDA Zones 3 to 9.
• Habit: Expect a clump-forming perennial with dormant arching strap-like foliage and upright flower scapes.

Ideal Uses

• Perennial Borders: Use it in sunny mixed borders where the soft yellow flowers can brighten and refine early to midsummer combinations.
• Focal Point: Place it in a visible section of the bed where its ruffled fragrant blooms can create a polished seasonal highlight.
• Mass Planting: Plant it in groups where repeated blooms can create a broad sweep of luminous summer color.
• Containers: Grow it in large containers where the fragrant flowers can be enjoyed up close through the bloom season.
• Mixed Beds: Use it with purple, blue, burgundy, or dark-foliaged companions to make its primrose-yellow color stand out even more clearly.

Low Maintenance Care

• Watering: Water regularly during establishment, then provide supplemental moisture during extended dry periods for best bloom performance.
• Deadheading: Remove spent blooms and old scapes to keep the plant tidy and improve appearance through the season.
• Division: Divide clumps every few years if needed to maintain vigor and support strong flowering.
• Cleanup: Remove worn foliage in late season or early spring to refresh the clump.
• Feeding: A light spring feeding can support healthy foliage and stronger bloom without pushing excessive soft growth.
