When Wilmer Flory registered Frans Hals, naming it for the painter, it was the first serious bicolored daylily. Its continuing availability measures just how serious that is. Personally I like the way the scapes are so branchy that well grown clumps do a display that looks like curled ribbons rather than emphasizing the single blossoms.

I was given this daylily by a friend -- what a nice surprise when it bloomed! It was tiny when I got it and had been out of the ground for some time, but recovered quickly and has grown fast. The warm colors are lovely and make a bright spot in the garden. I've seen this used in a large grouping in front of a restaurant, which was very impressive. I have also seen the name of this daylily spelled Franz Hall or Franz Hals. I'm not sure what the correct name actually is. In any case, I recommend this lily for anyone's garden. Very nice.

Frans Hals is one of my favorite daylilies. The blooms are beautiful one day, and delicious in salads or right off the plant the next day. I even read that daylily buds and blooms are more nutritious than broccoli. Who knew?

A bright cinnamon and rich apricot bicolor. With up to 50 buds, very long blooming. Reaches a height of 24". Does better in cooler climates. Tolerates most soil conditions. Some sources list this plant as an heirloom daylily. Divide in spring. For best results, water frequently from spring until the buds appear and apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-3 weeks.
