Uses and Benefits: On and On is a top performer for borders, edging, mass plantings, or containers—anywhere you want long-lasting bloom with minimal upkeep. Its soft colouring makes it easy to pair with pastels or contrast with deeper hues, and its compact form keeps it looking neat throughout the season. Like all daylilies, it is drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and attracts butterflies and bees.

Companion Plants: Pair with Veronica 'Magic Show Pink Potions', whose delicate pink spikes echo On and On’s soft hues while adding upright contrast. Add Heuchera 'Paris' for coral-pink flower sprays and attractive mounded foliage that provides season-long texture. Finish the planting with Sedum 'Lime Zinger', whose fleshy, chartreuse-edged leaves and rosy blooms provide a cool-toned contrast and extend interest into fall.

Care Instructions: Plant in full sun for best flower production; part shade is tolerated, especially in hot summer regions. Water regularly during the first year; once established, plants are drought-tolerant. Deadhead spent flowers to promote continuous blooming. Cut back foliage in late fall or early spring, and divide every 3–4 years to maintain vigour.
