Hemerocallis 'Over The Top'

Over The Top Daylily

Hemerocallis ‘Over The Top’ is a bold, tall perennial valued for its large, showy yellow blooms and strong garden presence. Arching, strap-like green leaves form a dense clump in spring, followed by tall scapes bearing abundant, large, ruffled golden-yellow flowers in mid-summer, held well above the foliage, with each bloom lasting a day but produced over several weeks. Its size and vivid color make it a standout focal point in sunny borders.
