“Golden Zebra” is a variety of the commonly known, “Day Lily”, and features very showy flowers. The impressive, yellow-orange flowers are only at peak condition for a day, but are continually produced through summer. They are held above the strap-like leaves which are variegated cream and green. It typically grows to 50 cm tall and the same wide, performing best when planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of frost, cool climates, dry periods, and moderate wind, and may die back during winter but will regrow again in spring. “Golden Zebra” is commonly mass planted as a groundcover, planted around the base of larger trees, included in borders, or added to a mixed planting. It is also perfect for cottage gardens and using anywhere the flowering can be appreciated. This plant puts on an amazing display which is sure to impress.
