Hemerocallis 'Chicago Gold Strike'

'Chicago Gold Strike' Daylily

Hemerocallis ‘Gold Strike’ is a reliable, reblooming perennial valued for its bright golden-yellow flowers and extended bloom period. Arching, strap-like green leaves form a dense clump in spring, followed by abundant, clear yellow blooms in early summer with repeat flowering into late summer, with each flower lasting a day but produced continuously over time. Its cheerful color and repeat performance make it a strong choice for sunny plantings.
