Hemerocallis Naturalizing Mix

Naturalizing Mix Daylily

Hemerocallis ‘Naturalizing Mix’ is a hardy perennial blend valued for its vibrant range of bloom colors and ability to spread and fill space over time. Arching, strap-like green leaves form expanding clumps in spring, followed by a mix of medium to large flowers in early to mid-summer in shades of yellow, orange, red, and bi-colors, with each bloom lasting a day but produced over several weeks. Selected for vigor and adaptability, this mix is ideal for mass plantings and low-maintenance landscapes.
