'Mission Moonlight' daylily (Hemerocallis 'Mission Moonlight') 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 creamy yellow flowers have a greenish yellow throat and open in early to late spring and again in early to late summer. Rabbits tend to nibble other plants first. Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds visit the blooms.
