Notes
'Stafford' daylily (Hemerocallis 'Stafford') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, containers, and low maintenance beds. 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 drought tolerant and salt tolerant, and the flowers are fragrant. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms. Rabbits rarely make it their first choice.
