Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Hemerocallis named ‘Calypso Queen’ characterized by its gold-orange colored flowers with a red eye-zone which are borne on branched scapes. The flowers do not fade in warm, bright conditions and are resistant to water spotting. Plants of ‘Calypso Queen’ bloom very early in the season, and then repeatedly throughout the growing season. Plants of ‘Calypso Queen’ are evergreen, thus they are attractive in landscapes. The plant grows vigorously, and propagates easily by division or tissue culture.
