Hemerocallis 'Barbara Mitchell'

Barbara Mitchell Daylily, Daylily

Hemerocallis ‘Barbara Mitchell’ is a classic perennial valued for its soft, romantic flower color and reliable performance. Arching, strap-like green leaves form a dense clump in spring, followed by large, ruffled, pale pink flowers with a soft yellow throat in mid to late summer, with individual blooms lasting a day but produced in abundance over several weeks. Its elegant color and easy care make it a favorite for borders and mass plantings.
