Hemerocallis 'New Quest'

New Quest Daylily

Hemerocallis ‘New Quest’ is a vigorous, reblooming perennial valued for its bright yellow flowers and extended bloom season. Arching, strap-like green leaves form a dense clump in spring, followed by abundant, clear yellow blooms in early to mid-summer with repeat flowering into late summer, with each flower lasting a day but produced continuously over time. Its dependable rebloom and cheerful color make it a strong performer in sunny plantings.
