Hemerocallis 'Hyperion'

Hyperion Supreme Daylily

Hemerocallis ‘Hyperion’ is a classic, tall perennial valued for its fragrant, lemon-yellow blooms and graceful habit. Arching, strap-like green leaves form a strong clump in spring, followed by abundant, tall scapes bearing clear yellow, lightly fragrant flowers in mid-summer, with each bloom lasting a day but produced over several weeks. Its height, fragrance, and reliability have made it a long-time favorite in gardens.
