Hemerocallis 'Louise Manelis'

Louise Manelis Daylily

Hemerocallis ‘Louise Manelis’ is a refined perennial valued for its soft, pastel-toned blooms and elegant presence in the garden. Arching, strap-like green leaves form a dense clump in spring, followed by abundant, medium to large creamy peach flowers with a warm yellow throat in mid-summer, with each bloom lasting a day but produced over several weeks. Its gentle coloring and reliable performance make it a versatile choice for sunny borders.
