About this plant
Hemerocallis 'Autumn Minaret' is a graceful daylily known for its warm, golden-yellow blooms with a hint of orange at the eye zone, perfectly capturing the tones of late summer and early autumn. Each flower features delicately ruffled edges and a contrasting yellow-green throat, lending depth and charm to its elegant appearance. Bred for its tall, slender stems, 'Autumn Minaret' brings a unique vertical dimension to the garden, making it ideal for adding height and visual interest to beds and borders.
This variety blooms later in the season than most daylilies, from midsummer into early fall, extending color into the garden when many other plants have started to fade. Originally cultivated for its late-blooming habit and graceful structure, 'Autumn Minaret' is celebrated for its ability to thrive in diverse garden environments while providing a long-lasting display of warm, seasonal color.

Design tip
Fall bloom is its strength, and it earns a place near a path or seating area used late in the year. Because it is easy about light, use it to carry a planting from a sunny end of the bed into the shadier side.
