Notes
'Golden Calypso' daylily (Hemerocallis 'Golden Calypso') 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 fragrant orange blooms have an olive throat, and butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit them. Rabbits tend to pass it by. It also tolerates drought and salt.
Pairs well with August Moon hosta, Arizona Sun blanket flower, and Western sword fern.
