'Hyperion' is a legendary, historic daylily hybridized by F.B. Mead and introduced in 1924 (also associated with Sir Michael Foster/Florham). It is famous for its tall, graceful scapes bearing large, fragrant, lemon-yellow flowers with a delicate, spidery form. It was one of the first daylilies to gain widespread popularity and remains a cherished heirloom for its elegance and fragrance.
