Introduced by Lucille Guidry in 1983, it has wide and ruffled petals in a soft apricot, and is long-blooming in July and August. The flowers of 'Golden Scroll' stand up extremely well to hot weather. The leaves are not evergreen over winter as are some daylilies, so it can take severe cold, growing well from USDA Zones 3 to 9. The height of a plant is two and a half feet. Flower size is between four and five inches. It was given the highly coveted Award of Merit in 1988. |
