Pollination Info

Pollination Info for Indy Rhapsody Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Indy Rhapsody')

General Information

Indy Rhapsody Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Indy Rhapsody') is a perennial plant that belongs to the family of Asphodelaceae. It is a hybrid cultivar known for its showy and trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom in summer. Like all daylilies, Indy Rhapsody is a prolific bloomer that can be easily grown in gardens or containers. In order for the plant to produce seeds, pollination is essential.

Pollination Process

Daylilies are self-sterile, which means they cannot pollinate themselves. Pollination occurs when the pollen from the anthers of one flower is transferred to the stigma of another flower. This can happen through natural means, such as wind, rain, or insects. However, gardeners can also play an active role in pollination by hand-pollinating their daylilies.

Hand-Pollination

Hand-pollination can increase the chances of producing seeds and also allows gardeners to control the pollination process to create desired characteristics in their plants. Here are the steps for hand-pollination:

  1. Choose a flower that is fully open with ripe anthers (the male part of the flower that produces pollen).
  2. Collect pollen from the anthers using a small paintbrush or cotton swab. Be sure to use fresh, dry pollen.
  3. Select a flower that has a mature stigma (the female part of the flower that receives pollen). This can be identified by the sticky, pollen-receptive surface at the center of the flower.
  4. Transfer the collected pollen to the stigma by carefully brushing or dabbing the pollen onto the surface of the stigma.
  5. Mark the flower with a tag or a ribbon to identify it as the one that has been hand-pollinated.

Conclusion

Pollination is essential for Indy Rhapsody Daylilies to produce seeds and continue their lifecycle. Hand-pollination is a simple process that can increase the chances of seed production and also allow gardeners to control the genetic characteristics of their plants. With proper care and attention, Indy Rhapsody Daylilies can thrive in gardens and provide beautiful blooms year after year.

  • Pruning: Cut back foliage to the ground in the fall after it has died back naturally.
  • Dividing: Every few years, divide plants in the spring or fall to encourage new growth and maintain vigor.
