Soothing Presence

'Lullaby Baby' produces 4–5 inch flowers in a delicate blend of pale pink, cream, and lavender with a green throat. The colors are soft and harmonious—no harsh contrasts. The petals are smooth, slightly recurved, and beautifully proportioned. The plant forms a graceful clump 22–26 inches tall. Bloom is mid-season.

This cultivar's longevity (45+ years) testifies to its timeless appeal. The pastel palette never goes out of style. It's also notable as a parent of 'Ming Porcelain' (Ring of Change × Tet. Lullaby Baby). 'Lullaby Baby'—a daylily that whispers rather than shouts, calming the garden with its lullaby.
