Common Questions
Pink Wing Daylily questions
What zones can Pink Wing Daylily grow in?
Pink Wing Daylily is hardy in USDA Zones 4–9. Inside that range it survives winter in the ground; outside it, grow it as an annual or a container plant you protect.
Is Pink Wing Daylily deer resistant?
Not reliably. Deer may browse Pink Wing Daylily, especially tender spring growth — plan on repellents or fencing where pressure is high.

Pink Wing Daylily does best in full sun to part shade. In hot climates, afternoon shade keeps blooms fresher longer.
