{"product_id":"hemerocallis-fulva-kwanso-orange-5-pot","title":"Hemerocallis Fulva Kwanso Orange - 5\" Pot","description":"\u003cp\u003eHemerocallis fulva 'Kwanso' is a double-flowered form of the tawny or orange daylily, a tough, clump-forming perennial that spreads by underground runners to form dense colonies. Each flower lasts only a single day, but a healthy clump produces a long succession of large, ruffled, tawny-orange blooms over many weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn India it is an undemanding ornamental that thrives in the plains and hills alike, tolerating heat, poor soils and a fair amount of neglect once established. The arching strap-shaped foliage forms an attractive mound even when the plant is not in flower, making it useful for borders, mass plantings and slope stabilisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFamily\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAsphodelaceae (Hemerocallidaceae)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eNative region\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEast Asia (China, Japan, Korea)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMature height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60-100 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMature spread\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60-90 cm, spreading by runners\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGrowth rate\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFast\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFoliage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArching, strap-shaped green leaves; deciduous to semi-evergreen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlower colour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTawny orange, double\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlower season\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLate spring through summer (Mar-Aug in most of India)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eClimate zone\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTropical to temperate; suits plains and hills across India\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSunlight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull sun to partial shade; best flowering in 6+ hours of sun, light afternoon shade helps in very hot regions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWatering\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModerate; keep soil evenly moist during growth and flowering, reduce in cool\/dormant months.
