Notes
'Corky' daylily (Hemerocallis 'Corky') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the fragrant blooms, and the plant tolerates drought and salt. Rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It blooms in early to late spring and early to late summer.
Pairs well with Caradonna sage, Moonshine yarrow, and Lady's mantle.
