Daylily 'Rocket City', Day Lily 'Rocket City', 'Rocket City' Daylily, Early Midseason Daylilies
Hemerocallis ‘Rocket City’ is an eye-catching early midseason Daylily that produces blooms of bittersweet orange trumpets with a contrasting burnt-orange eyezone. Both petals and sepals are delicately recurved. The flowers last at least 16 hrs (extended blooms) but no more than 24 hours (thus the common name ‘Daylily’), opening up in the morning and withering during the forthcoming night, possibly replaced by another one on the same scape (flower stalk) the next day. Blooming for many weeks, this tetraploid Daylily is dormant (deciduous).
