Hemerocallis hybrid Atlas

Atlus Daylilly

Hemerocallis ‘Atlas’ is a tall, vigorous perennial valued for its large, bright yellow blooms and strong upright habit. Arching, strap-like green leaves form a substantial clump in spring, followed by tall scapes bearing abundant, large clear yellow flowers in mid-summer, with each bloom lasting a day but produced over several weeks. Its height and bold color make it ideal for the back of borders and large plantings.
