Hemerocallis 'Yellow Lollipop'

Yellow Lollipop Daylily

Hemerocallis ‘Yellow Lollipop’ is a compact, cheerful perennial valued for its bright yellow blooms and neat habit. Narrow, arching green leaves form a tidy clump in spring, followed by abundant, small clear yellow flowers in early to mid-summer, with each bloom lasting a day but produced continuously over several weeks.
