Longfields Angel Daylily

Hemerocallis 'Longfields Angel' is a fragrant, reblooming daylily registered by the American Daylily Society in 2005 to Gerard Heemskerk. Its butter-yellow flowers have a purple-red eye and greenish-yellow throat; the 3-inch blooms open on 24-inch scapes in midseason.

Daylilies perform best in full sun but tolerate partial shade; heavy shade can reduce flowering.

Established daylilies cope with drought, although they flower best when they have moisture during the growing season. Avoid ground that remains waterlogged.

This cultivar is listed as dormant, so its foliage dies down in winter. Divide mature clumps every few years if they become crowded or flowering declines.
