Notes

'Siloam Shocker' daylily (Hemerocallis 'Siloam Shocker') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, and containers. 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. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the fragrant blooms. It is drought tolerant and salt tolerant, so it suits low care spots.

Pairs well with Astilbe, Aromatic aster, Nodding onion, and Sedge.
