Tough as nails, Hyperion can live through droughts, rains and neglect. The flowers are a bright, light yellow, the foliage is fairly dark. The scent is pleasant. This one's highly recommended!

HYPERION persists here in west central Florida, zone 9b. It has only managed to bloom once, but that was enough to make me love it, grin. I've grown it since '96, and moved it when I moved the rest of the collection. I actually have an older daylily cultivar, but it is much newer (to me) and has not bloomed yet.
Deliciously scented, with flowers on tall stems near nose level, and reliable. I have newer varieties but friends still ask for divisions of this old favorite!
