The daylily fields in Sun Moon Lake’s Toushe area are in full bloom! After a successful trial adding verbena last year, the park expanded its planting this year. Both plants are now blossoming, carpeting 10 hectares of the park with seas of gold daylilies and purple verbena, beautifully accented by the white tung blossoms dotting the distant mountains.

Here at Sun Moon Lake, fields of orange daylilies stretch as far as the eye can see, looking particularly vibrant in the sunshine. The verbena flowers are also in bloom, adding a romantic purple to the mix. In some areas, the two blossoms intermingle, creating a tapestry of purple and gold that’s become a major draw for visitors.

Visitor
I came last year and found the pairing of verbena with daylilies to be beautiful. So this year I made sure to come back for a little visit.

The park started planting verbena in the Toushe daylily fields near the lake last year. Thanks to the fertile soil, the plants flourished, and the park decided to expand planting this year. Interspersed with the golden daylilies and framed by white tung blossoms on the distant mountains, the place is as beautiful as a painting.

We expanded the verbena planting this year. The entire park is about 12 hectares. The colored daylily and lowland daylily cover about 5 or 6 hectares, while the verbena covers nearly 10.

Visitors to Sun Moon Lake would usually include a visit to the daylily fields along with a boat tour. Now, the addition of the purple verbena gives the flower fields greater depth and interest.

Because of the hot weather this year, the daylilies reached full bloom two weeks early. Now is the optimal time to see them, probably lasting until the end of May or early June.

The blossoms won’t last forever. If you want to catch this majestic sea of purple and gold, make your way over to Sun Moon Lake before the season ends!
