Hemerocallis 'Big Time Happy'

Daylily 'Big Time Happy'

Hemerocallis ‘Big Time Happy’ is a compact, reblooming perennial valued for its bright yellow flowers and extended bloom period. Arching, strap-like green leaves form a tidy clump in spring, followed by abundant, cheerful yellow blooms in early summer with repeat flowering into late summer, with individual flowers lasting a day but produced continuously over time. Its small size and long bloom make it ideal for borders and containers.
