The “DBL” in Puccini Daylily (Hemerocallis ‘Puccini’) stands for “Double,” referring to its heavy, extra-petaled cream-yellow blossoms. Hybridized by Stamile in 1999, this fragrant, evergreen tetraploid produces massive 7-inch flowers on scapes reaching about 30 inches in height. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Key Characteristics
Growing & Care
- Double Habit: The cultivar “doubles” about 85% of the time, although it can occasionally throw single flowers depending on the climate and gardening zone.
- Sun & Soil: Requires full sun to partial shade and performs best in well-drained, average soil.
- Hardiness: Prefers warmer climates because of its evergreen foliage, though it can survive cooler zones with proper winter mulching. [1, 2, 3, 4]
