Daylily plant named ‘Stephanie Returns’

Abstract

A new and distinct Hemerocallis cultivar of the dormant type named ‘Stephanie Returns’ is provided. The new cultivar is very floriferous and forms attractive ruffled bicolored pink/mauve/red funnel-shaped blossoms having substantial substance. The plant commonly blossoms between early June and late September in U.S.D.A. Hardiness Zone No. 6. The blossoms possess substantial substance and well withstand rain in view of the strength of the tepals. The new plant readily forms fans and readily forms a number of scapes per fan. The new cultivar is particularly well suited for growing as distinctive colorful ornamentation in the landscape.
