A true star in the world of daylilies, Hemerocallis 'Rose F. Kennedy' is celebrated for its electrifying green throat and exceptional form. The large, clear chartreuse-to-lime blooms are edged in a fine ruffle and open wide and flat, showcasing their colour intensity and precision. This rare cultivar has become a legend—not least because it's a multiple award-winner and a prized parent in modern hybridising. A child of Hemerocallis 'Emerald Starburst', it carries the best of its lineage and pushes the boundaries of green-throated breeding.

Extremely rare in the UK, this is a true collector’s plant and a gem for any serious daylily enthusiast.

Stunning as a focal point in mixed borders or collector’s beds. Pairs beautifully with purples, whites, and silvers—think Salvia, Nepeta, or Stachys—for striking contrast. Also performs well in large containers where its distinctive colouring can be fully appreciated.

Mid-season blooming with good rebloom potential. Diploid. Recipient of multiple accolades including the Stout Silver Medal, the highest honour awarded by the American Daylily Society. Pollinator-friendly and a standout for both gardeners and hybridisers.
