Hemerocallis 'Lullaby Baby'

Lullaby Baby Daylily

Hemerocallis ‘Lullaby Baby’ is a soft-toned perennial valued for its delicate, pastel blooms and refined appearance. Arching, strap-like green leaves form a dense clump in spring, followed by abundant, medium-sized flowers in mid-summer in soft pink to lavender tones with a warm yellow throat, with each bloom lasting a day but produced over several weeks. Its gentle color makes it ideal for blending into mixed borders.
