Hemerocallis RAINBOW RHYTHM ‘Primal Scream’ (4) 1-gallons
One of the most sought-after daylilies available today; winner of the 2003 Stout Medal (the highest honor a daylily can receive).
If you’re looking for the WOW! factor in daylilies, you’ve found it here with ‘Primal Scream’. Nothing comes close to the spectacular 7½-8½’, glimmering tangerine orange, gold dusted blossoms and green throat of this selection.
Officially classified as “unusual form”, the tepals are narrow, twisted, and recurved with loosely ruffled edges. These gigantic blossoms are presented in midsummer on tall, graceful, willowy scapes above the attractive arching foliage. With such a distinctive presence, ‘Primal Scream’ is sure to steal the show in the garden and on retail benches when it’s in bloom.

The dazzling color and unique form make ‘Primal Scream’ a standout in any sunny garden.

Planting and Care:
- Planting: Choose a location with full sun to partial shade. Daylilies bloom best with at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. Ensure the soil is moist and well-drained. Amend the soil with compost or other organic matter before planting. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball and plant at the same depth as the container. Space plants about 18-24 inches apart.
- Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods. Daylilies need consistent moisture to thrive and produce abundant blooms.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth begins. You can also fertilize lightly after the first flush of blooms to encourage reblooming.
- Mulching: Mulch around the plants with shredded bark, compost, or pine needles to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and protect the crown.
- Deadheading: Remove spent flower heads to encourage more blooms and prevent the formation of seed pods, which can divert energy from flower production.
- Division: Divide clumps every 3-5 years, or as needed, to prevent overcrowding and rejuvenate the plant. Division is best done in spring or fall.
Special Considerations:
- ‘Primal Scream’ makes a bold statement in sunny borders, flower beds, or container plantings.
- Its vibrant orange blooms and unique, ruffled form create a dramatic focal point in the garden.
- It pairs well with other sun-loving perennials, especially those with contrasting flower colors and textures.
- Daylilies are relatively low-maintenance and are a great choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners.
