Montego Melon Daylily is a long-blooming perennial with grass-like deep green foliage. Clusters of soft yellow ruffled flowers bloom in late spring and can rebloom until frost if deadheaded immediately after flowering. The flowers attract butterflies and pollinators. Best bloom in deep and rich well-drained soils. Drought and salt tolerant once established. Montego Melon is resistant to Daylily rust.
