Notes

Daylily (Hemerocallis hybrids) 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. It grows 24 to 30 inches tall and has fragrant blooms that attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. It also tolerates drought and salt. Rabbits tend to pass it by.

Pairs well with Spotted beebalm, Ice plant, and Asiatic lily.
