Daylily 'Beauty to Behold' (Hemerocallis 'Beauty to Behold'): Bold Yellow Ruffled Flowers with Nocturnal Habit

Daylily 'Beauty to Behold' (Hemerocallis 'Beauty to Behold')

'Beauty to Behold' lives up to its name with boldly textured yellow flowers featuring ruffled, paler yellow edges. This semi-evergreen cultivar has a nocturnal blooming habit—flowers open in the late afternoon and close the following morning or early afternoon. Each bloom lasts just one day, but the plant produces a succession over the summer season.

Growing Conditions and Care

Plant in full sun for best flowering; in southern regions, provide light midday shade. Soil should be rich, well-drained, and moisture-retentive. Amend with organic matter and water deeply during dry spells. Mulch to conserve moisture.

Propagation

Sow seed in containers in spring or autumn. Divide in spring or autumn.

Potential Problems

Daylilies are tough plants with few serious issues. Minor damage from aphids, thrips, slugs, snails, and rust is possible.
