Hemerocallis 'Bodacious Returns'

Daylily

Hemerocallis ‘Bodacious Returns’ is a reblooming perennial valued for its large, ruffled flowers and extended bloom season. Arching, strap-like green leaves form a dense clump in spring, followed by abundant, soft peach to rosy-pink blooms with a warm yellow throat in early summer, with repeat flowering into late summer. Each flower lasts a day, but plants produce continuous blooms over an extended period. Its larger flowers and repeat performance make it a standout in sunny borders.
