Hemerocallis ‘Desert Icicle’ – 2026

Hemerocallis ‘Desert Icicle’ is a striking daylily cultivar known for its unique, crispate (twisted) petals that create a distinctive, spider-like appearance. The flowers are a delicate blush pink blend with a contrasting green throat, measuring approximately 20 cm across. This semi-evergreen, diploid variety, introduced in 1995 by hybridizer N. Roberts, forms clumps of arching, strap-like green leaves that provide a graceful backdrop to its striking flowers. It is an early to midseason bloomer, typically flowering from June through July.

This cultivar thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and can withstand summer heat. ‘Desert Icicle’s’ combination of unique blooms and attractive foliage makes it a versatile and charming addition to decorative or naturalistic garden plantings.
