Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Wild Wookie')

This daylily grows in one of the hottest areas of my Arizona garden and loves it. She increases in size each year. If you are looking for a daylily for a hot spot in your yard this is the one to choose. This is a very long 9"'s or more. This is obviously a favorite of mine.

I got a start of Wild Wookie in 2013 from a friend and it is now around 20 fans strong. The 9" blooms really make a statement. I have never seen rust on it. It is definitely an early morning opener because I can take a picture of a fully opened bloom at 6am (CDT).


This picture was in 2017 and it does make a nice clump. I think the color clashes with the light blue siding of my house. It is very difficult to get a decent, nicely saturated picture of it.


This is the best picture I could find of branching and buds. The best I see is 4-way branching. It gets several hours of morning sun, but all shade after that.


2021 picture - some scapes are quite a bit shorter, but some do get the 31" registered height. I think this clump needs to be divided.
