Daylily (Hemerocallis x 'Hush Little Baby') - Description
Hemerocallis 'Hush Little Baby' is a breathtaking new daylily that has nearly perfect 5" rose-pink flowers. The petals are elegantly ruffled and display lovely darker pink veining with light pink midribs. At the center of each flower, the glowing apple-green throat extends outward and fades to a sunny yellow which is surrounded by a soft pink halo. The flowers have a very thick substance, which keeps them looking perfect throughout the day, even through heat and humidity. With over 20 buds per stem, you will be able to enjoy an incredible display of flowers every day during mid summer, and a bonus of reblooming flowers into late summer.

The funnel-shaped blooms last for only one day, but new blooms continue for weeks or months from late spring through the summer. The flowers bloom on tall stalks, starting at the top. When used as cut flowers, a single bloom will fade after one day, but the other buds will flower on subsequent days.
