This few-flowered variant of the tawny daylily is a vigorous, clump-forming perennial from Japan that produces classic orange blooms in summer with fewer flowers per scape than the common form. It adapts readily to a range of soil types and tolerates partial shade, making it suitable for borders, slopes, and naturalized areas. Divide clumps every 3-4 years to prevent overcrowding and maintain strong flowering performance.
