Judy Judy Daylily

Hemerocallis ‘Judy Judy’ carries strongly fragrant, ruffled lavender flowers with a yellow picotee edge and a creamy yellow throat. Its sturdy, branched scapes produce many buds for a midsummer display; published sources place the plant around 24–28 inches tall and 18–24 inches wide.

Daylilies perform best in fertile soil that retains moisture while draining well; give the clump room to widen and avoid prolonged dryness during active growth. The arching foliage forms a green base below the taller bloom stalks, so place it with lower edging plants or repeat it in a small group.

Individual flowers last a day, but buds open in sequence along each stalk.

Keep the foliage until it naturally declines, and divide established clumps in spring or fall if they become crowded or flower less freely.
