Comments: 'Sunny Honey' is an herbaceous perennial that is easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils (prefer a deep fertile loam) in full sun to part shade.This plant features large (3.5 - 4 inches) ruffled honey-yellow flowers. This is an excellent repeat bloomer from early summer to early fall. At mature size, 'Sunny Honey' is just under 2' tall and wide. Plants are tolerant of summer heat and humidity, but appreciate deep watering in dry spells to keep foliage attractive. Daylilies should be divided to maintain vigor when the clumps become overcrowded. Uses for this plant include borders, edging, mass over large areas or grow in clumps. Fountain-like leaves provide elegant foliage color and texture for the garden. Daylilies are extremely adaptable perennials that are easy to grow and virtually pest free.
