Hemerocallis 'Aabachee'

Aabachee Daylily

Hemerocallis 'Aabachee' is an eye-catching daylily cultivar with large, vibrant coral-red flowers that make a bold statement in the garden. A subtle, golden-yellow throat contrasts beautifully with the warm hue of the petals, drawing attention to the center of each flower. Blooming in mid-summer, the blossoms are trumpet-shaped and open fully during the day, giving the plant its common name, daylily.

Originating from hybridization efforts, 'Aabachee' was developed to enhance both beauty and hardiness.

Design tip

Summer flowers carry the middle of the season, so place it where the bed needs color once spring bulbs fade. It takes sun or light shade, which makes it useful along the changing light of a bed edge or a partly shaded border.
