Matt Daylily: A Reliable 1982 Introduction by Harris

Matt Daylily

The Matt daylily (Hemerocallis 'Matt') is a solid, dependable cultivar introduced in 1982 by hybridizer Harris. While its name is simple, its garden performance is anything but. This variety produces clean, well-formed flowers in a pleasing shade of red or reddish-orange, often with a slightly darker eye zone.

The plant forms a sturdy clump of green foliage and sends up multiple scapes with a good bud count, providing weeks of color in mid-summer. It is valued for its consistency and adaptability.
