Prairie Moonlight Daylily: A 1965 Marsh Evening Glow

Prairie Moonlight Daylily

The Prairie Moonlight daylily (Hemerocallis 'Prairie Moonlight'), hybridized by Marsh and registered in 1965, captures the soft, luminous glow of moonlight on the prairie. This cultivar features large, near-white or pale cream flowers with a subtle green or yellow throat.

The blooms are often fragrant and open in the late afternoon or evening, staying open through the night—a trait known as "nocturnal" or "extended bloom." The plant forms a vigorous clump and blooms in mid-season.
