Notes

'Pony' daylily (Hemerocallis 'Pony') 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 bicolor lavender and creamy white blooms are fragrant and attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Plants tolerate drought and salt.

Pairs well with Aromatic aster, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Musk mallow.
