Daylily Awesome Luck (Hemerocallis)

Hemerocallis 'Awesome Luck' is a dazzling addition to any garden, with its warm, glowing orange blooms that radiate vibrant energy.

This variety blooms generously during mid to late summer, delivering weeks of rich colour that brightens borders, pathways, and containers alike.

Beyond its stunning blooms, ‘Awesome Luck’ features graceful, arching green foliage that adds texture and structure to planting schemes. Standing at 60-70 cm, it forms neat, clump-forming mounds, making it an excellent choice for both compact gardens and larger, layered displays.

Thriving in a range of soils and tolerating light shade, ‘Awesome Luck’ is a reliable choice for gardeners seeking a bold splash of colour with minimal fuss. Its drought-tolerance and extended blooming period make it particularly suited to low-maintenance gardens. To top it off, its blooms attract pollinators, adding ecological value alongside its ornamental appeal.

With its radiant flowers and dependable growth, Daylily 'Awesome Luck' is a truly spectacular choice for UK gardeners.

What Makes It Special?
Hemerocallis 'Awesome Luck' isn’t just a pretty face. Unlike some daylilies that need the perfect conditions to perform, this one is a true survivor. It thrives in a variety of soil types – clay, sandy, or loamy – so long as the soil is well-draining. It's happy in sunny spots but performs brilliantly in partial shade too, making it a versatile addition to any garden.

Here’s something you won’t often hear: Awesome Luck is surprisingly tolerant of dry spells once it’s settled into its new home. While most daylilies enjoy regular watering, this one can take a bit of neglect in stride – perfect for those with busy schedules or gardens in areas prone to dry weather.

And it’s not just gardeners who love it – bees adore the flowers, making this daylily a pollinator-friendly choice that does its bit for the environment.

We supply Daylily 'Awesome Luck' as bare root plants, ready to be planted as soon as they arrive in spring. Once in the ground, they waste no time settling in, establishing themselves quickly and reliably. With minimal care, they’ll return year after year, their clumps gradually growing larger and more generous with blooms.

Plant them in borders, pots, or anywhere you want a pop of colour and a bit of drama. They mix beautifully with other perennials, but they’re just as striking planted on their own. All they need is the occasional tidy-up and a good feed in spring to keep them going strong.
