Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Hemerocallis named ‘Connie Marks’ characterized by double, light yellow, fragrant flowers that are nocturnal, fully double, lightly creped and ruffled, 13.4 cm in diameter, and of considerable substance that blooms for 24 hours. ‘Connie Marks’ has a propensity to form a plurality of scapes per fan and two scapes per fan per bloom period; is heat and cold hardy to a wide range of Hardiness Zones-U.S.D.A. zones No. 3 to No. 7; has a delicate perfumed fragrance; and an extended bloom period from early June until the end of July which is longer than a thirty day or less average for more than 99% of cultivates currently in the trade. ‘Connie Marks’ cleanly sheds spent flowers to allow new buds to fully develop, readily propagates by division and exhibits a moderate rate of multiplication of three or more fans per year, and is resistant to daylily rust ( Puccinia hemerocallidis .)
