Notes

'Custard Candy' daylily (Hemerocallis 'Custard Candy') 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. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the fragrant blooms. It tolerates drought and salt, so it suits tough spots.

Pairs well with Knapweed, Nodding onion, and Sensitive fern.
