Abstract

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