'Arctic Snow' is a large-flowered daylily with creamy white, almost white flowers and a lemon-yellow throat. The flowers reach about 14 cm. From June to August, the compact perennial tirelessly opens new buds and brings calm and brightness to sunny beds.

About this variety

White daylilies are rare, and 'Arctic Snow' comes very close to pure white. The large flowers look ivory to creamy white and carry a fresh lemon yellow in the throat. The petals are broad and slightly ruffled. Each flower lasts one day, but the plant forms many buds.

At about 50–70 cm tall, it suits the front and middle rows of sunny beds and borders. It is also happy in a large pot on the terrace. It copes with almost any soil that stays moist. Blue catmint, sage, lavender and ornamental grasses complement the bright white particularly well.

Bees like to visit the open flowers. It is only of limited use as a cut flower, as the flowers are short-lived. The perennial is very hardy, even at higher altitudes, and forms ever stronger clumps with more flower stems over the years. In the evening the pale flowers keep glowing long after other colours have faded. This makes it particularly well suited to beds around seating areas and terraces.

Planting

Plant in spring from March to May or in autumn in September and October. Set the crown 2–3 cm deep and make the planting hole twice the size of the rootstock. Keep 40–50 cm apart and choose a sunny spot. Water in well.

Care

Water in dry periods, and regularly in a pot. Give compost in spring. Remove faded flowers daily or every few days to keep the plant looking good. Divide the clumps every four to five years.
