Design with this plant

Overview

The Yellow Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Yellow') is a perennial favorite, offering sunny, trumpet-shaped blooms up to 6 inches wide atop 1-3 foot tall scapes. These hardy plants thrive in USDA zones 3-9, preferring full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil, and bloom prolifically from early to mid-summer. Low maintenance, they're perfect for mass plantings, borders, or as vibrant splashes of color in mixed beds.
