Strawberry Rose is a tetraploid daylily that brings fragrant, showy blooms to gardens from June through July across hardiness zones 3 to 9. This perennial grows 24 to 30 inches tall and spreads 18 to 24 inches wide, thriving in full sun to partial shade with moderate water needs. Daylilies as a genus are natives of Asia and central Europe, and modern varieties like this one are the result of decades of hybridization work that has given gardeners access to flowers in an stunning range of colors, shapes, and patterns. Low-maintenance and reliable, it attracts butterflies and tolerates urban conditions, erosion, and rabbit pressure with ease.

Fragrant flowers on a compact, spreading plant that handles tough conditions without complaint. The tetraploid classification means more robust, fuller blooms than standard varieties, and the common name Strawberry Rose hints at the rich coloring and form you can expect. Butterflies flock to these flowers throughout the bloom season, and rabbits leave them alone, making this a practical choice for wildlife gardens and problem sites.
Daylilies are grown primarily as ornamental perennials in borders, beds, and landscape plantings. Their reliable blooming, low maintenance requirements, and tolerance of varied growing conditions make them staples of perennial gardens. The fragrant, showy flowers attract butterflies and other pollinators, adding wildlife value to any planting scheme.

“Daylilies sold in commerce today are almost entirely hybrids, the product of considerable effort by plant hybridizers over many decades to develop new colors, color combinations, shapes, and patterns. Few straight species plants remain in gardens; instead, gardeners benefit from the work of breeders who have crossed and selected for superior garden performance and ornamental value. The tetraploid classification indicates this variety likely resulted from chromosome doubling, a technique used to create plants with larger, more substantial flowers and stronger constitutions.”
