Notes

'Fragrant Returns' daylily (Hemerocallis 'Fragrant Returns') is a perennial for borders, containers, 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 moist, loamy, clay, or chalky soil. It is not a favorite of rabbits, though hungry rabbits will eat almost anything. The flowers are fragrant and attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. It also handles drought and salt.

Pairs well with Coneflower, Hidcote lavender, and Blue Paradise garden phlox.
