Middendorff's daylily (tall form) is a vigorous Japanese daylily cultivar bearing large, fragrant, apricot-orange blooms on tall scapes in late spring to early summer. It performs best in partly shaded to full-sun positions with consistently moist, humus-rich soil, and is well suited to woodland edges or mixed perennial borders. Deadhead spent flowers regularly and divide clumps every 3-4 years to maintain vigor.
