Notes
'Apricot' daylily (Hemerocallis 'Apricot') is a perennial for borders and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average soil. The yellow-orange flowers are fragrant and attract butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds. It sits low on the menu for rabbits. It also tolerates drought and salt, so it suits tough spots.
Pairs well with Knapweed, Cheerfulness daffodil, and Amur maple.
