A beautifully distinctive daylily, Hemerocallis 'Emerald Starburst' produces elegant blooms in soft lemon-yellow, each featuring a prominent green throat that seems to radiate from the centre like a starburst. The petals are gently ruffled, lending a refined texture that adds subtle drama to borders and container plantings. Known for its clean form and vivid colouring, this cultivar also boasts good substance and reblooms in ideal conditions. A true connoisseur’s choice, 'Emerald Starburst' is also the proud mother of Hemerocallis 'Rose F. Kennedy', a rare and much sought-after daylily known for its striking beauty and breeding potential.

All plants are shipped bare root and as two fans minimum.

Plant in full sun or light shade in well-drained soil. Daylilies are hardy and adaptable, tolerating a range of conditions, but they perform best in fertile, moisture-retentive ground. Deadhead spent flowers to promote continuous bloom and divide clumps every few years to maintain vigour.

Use as a luminous focal point in mixed borders, where its green eye can echo other chartreuse or lime foliage. Perfect for cottage-style gardens, and equally striking in large containers. Pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses, lavender, or Echinacea.

A mid-season bloomer with reblooming potential. Hardy and low maintenance. Attractive to pollinators and resistant to most pests. A wonderful cultivar for collectors and hybridisers alike.
