The “Mineola” daylily (Hemerocallis ‘Mineola’) is a vibrant, easy-to-grow perennial celebrated for its intense, burnt-orange petals and glowing yellow throat. It produces large flowers on tall stalks, creates prolific clumps, and is highly valued by gardeners for being a reliable rebloomer. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Key Characteristics
- Flower & Color: Features rich burnt-orange blooms with a glowing yellow throat. Flowers are typically quite large, averaging around 15 cm (6 inches) in diameter. [1, 2]
- Growth Habit: It is an evergreen daylily that grows in robust, spreading clumps. The flower scapes (stalks) generally reach a height of about 70 cm (27 inches). [1, 2, 3]
- Blooming Season: It is a prolific bloomer that flowers through the summer and has the ability to rebloom in warmer climates. [1]

General Daylily Care
- Light: Thrives in full sun to partial shade.
- Soil: Prefers well-drained, moisture-retentive soil, but can easily adapt to different garden conditions once established.
- Water: They are highly drought-tolerant thanks to their fleshy roots that store water, but they perform best with medium watering.
