Comments:  Hemerocallis Custard Candy or  Daylily is a beautiful  dwarf variety that blooms early mid-season and  reblooms in Fall.  I love its beautiful bloom.  To bring out the best colors in the daylily, light colors have to be in full sun (at least 6 hours) while the dark colors have to be in part shade during the hottest part of the day so their colors would not fade.
