Ming Toy Daylily is a re-blooming perennial with arching grass-like deep green foliage. The large, velvety orange-red flowers with narrow petals and contrasting golden throats bloom heavily in waves from early summer until frost. Flowers attract butterflies and pollinators. Best bloom in deep rich well-drained soils. Drought and cold tolerant once established. Evergreen in mild climates.
