Hemerocallis 'Ming Toy'

Ming Toy Daylily

Hemerocallis ‘Ming Toy’ is a compact perennial valued for its bright orange blooms and neat, low-growing habit. Narrow, arching green leaves form a tidy clump in spring, followed by abundant, small to medium vivid orange flowers with a golden-yellow throat in early to mid-summer, with each bloom lasting a day but produced continuously over several weeks. Its compact size and strong color make it ideal for edging and smaller garden spaces.
