Notes

'Katie' daylily (Hemerocallis 'Katie') 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. Its fragrant lavender-pink blooms have a yellow-green throat and attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It also tolerates drought and salt.

Pairs well with Royal Standard hosta, Solar Power sunflower, and Cheerfulness daffodil.
