Hemerocallis dumortieri

Daylily

Dumortier’s Daylily is a lovely Asian species which is one of the earliest blooming Daylilies. The yellow gold delicate flowers have an attractive bicolor aspect because the backs of the petals have a wide reddish brown stripe. Hemerocallis dumortieri blooms in April and May, and the open-faced flowers have a strong fragrance (a rarity in Daylilies). Since the blooms are wild looking and hover well above the green slender foliage, this Daylily is particularly natural looking in mixed borders and masses.
