Fragrant Returns Daylily is a reblooming evergreen perennial with strap-like deep green foliage that is notable for its heavy blooms. The abundant fragrant lemon yellow flowers with overlapping petals and lightly crimped edges blooms continuously through summer until the first frost. Each flower's bloom lasts a day attracting butterflies and pollinators. Grows best in deep rich well-drained soils. Drought, salt, and pollution tolerant once established.
