Hemerocallis 'Ice Carnival'

Ice Carnival Daylily

Hemerocallis ‘Ice Carnival’ is a refined perennial valued for its large, creamy white blooms and clean, classic appearance. Arching, strap-like green leaves form a dense clump in spring, followed by abundant, ruffled flowers in mid-summer in soft creamy white tones with a light yellow-green throat, with each bloom lasting a day but produced over several weeks. Its light color provides contrast and brightness in sunny borders.
