Classic Daylilies: Bright yellow Stella De Oro stands the test of time, along with other old favorites such as Chorus Line, a ruffled daylily with a yellow halo and deep green throat; or African Chant, a black and red midseason bloomer with a yellow-green throat.
Fragrant Collection
Fragrant Daylilies: Chesapeake Crablegs may have an unusual name, but this gorgeous orange spider daylily fills the air with sweet perfume. Lullaby Baby is a ruffled daylily with pale pink and rose blooms and an unforgettable aroma.
Doubles Collection
Double Daylilies: If you like big, double blooms, consider Double Dragon, a tan and maroon daylily with a green-gold throat; Double Canary, a bright yellow-green bloomer; or the caramel- and cinnamon-colored Double Almond.
Spider Collection
