Hemerocallis citrina
Overview
The Citron Daylily (Hemerocallis citrina) is a hardy perennial that blooms in late summer, after other flowering plants have begun to die back. Its eye-catching yellow-green flowers are unique among daylilies, and provide a bright burst of colour to the garden. The Citron Daylily is easy to care for, with low maintenance and drought-tolerant properties. It loves sunlight and should be planted in well-drained soil. Deadheading spent blooms will promote vigorous re-growth and lengthen the daylily's blooming period. This eye-catching daylily should be enjoyed in every garden!
