Hemerocallis nana is a charming dwarf daylily from southwestern China that is well-suited to rock gardens, front borders, and containers thanks to its compact size. Plant in well-draining soil in partial shade to full sun and water regularly during the growing season, reducing frequency in winter dormancy. This low-maintenance perennial rewards gardeners with delicate orange-yellow blooms each summer and multiplies steadily into attractive clumps.
