Daylily 'Jolly Yellow Fellow'

This excellent cultivar came to me as part of a generous bonus package from Mr. Boatwright and his Sassafras Gardens in South Carolina; I...Read Moret's quickly become one of my favorites. Now, yellow daylilies are a dime a dozen so you must know it has some outstanding properties to earn this rave review and it does.The creamy yellow petals are so clean and clear that they read almost white from a distance. Their great clarity means they show up from all the way across the yard and in the house. The butter yellow petal edges are as ruffled as any I've seen on a daylily yet they never catch or hang up and always open perfectly. It's a good grower and heavy bloomer.One curious thing about it - in South Carolina it blooms extra early and then reblooms. For me it's always one of the last daylilies to start blooming, and, along with Chicago Apache ans Vintner's Treasure, usually closes out my bloom season' Just shows you there are things we still don't know about our plants. But whenever it blooms, I love it. Recommended.

Lemon yellow with light white overlay with green throat and very ruffled edge.
