Pollination Info
Pollination Info for Daylily Storm Shelter (Hemerocallis RAINBOW RHYTHM® 'Storm Shelter')
Daylily Storm Shelter (Hemerocallis RAINBOW RHYTHM® 'Storm Shelter') is a hybrid daylily that is primarily pollinated by bees, but can also be pollinated by butterflies and other flying insects. This plant produces large, deep red flowers that typically bloom from midsummer to early fall.
The flowers of Daylily Storm Shelter have a trumpet-like shape and are composed of six petals that extend outwards to form a star-like shape. The petals are typically deep red in color, with a yellow or greenish-yellow throat. The flowers are held above the foliage on sturdy stems, making them highly visible to pollinators.
Bees are the most effective pollinators of Daylily Storm Shelter, as they are attracted to the flowers' bright color and sweet nectar. Butterflies and other flying insects may also visit the flowers, but they are less efficient pollinators due to their smaller size and less effective pollination methods.
Daylily Storm Shelter is a self-sterile plant, meaning it requires cross-pollination to produce viable seeds. Pollen from another plant of the same or a different variety must be transferred to the stigma of the flower for fertilization to occur. This can be done naturally by bees and other pollinators, or manually by gardeners.
To encourage pollinators to visit Daylily Storm Shelter, plant it in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, and provide regular fertilization to promote healthy growth and abundant blooms. Avoid using pesticides or other chemicals that may harm pollinators, as this can have negative effects on the plant's ability to produce viable seeds.
