Description
One of the best rebloomers in our gardens, the Rainbow Rhythm ‘Going Bananas’ Daylily produces large and fragrant lemon yellow flowers. For those familiar with the ‘Happy Returns’ Daylily, Growing Bananas is an improved version with larger flowers, longer bloom season, and nearly continuous blooming from early summer into early fall. Its lovely, bright green grass-like foliage is semi-evergreen in the more southern USDA Hardiness Zones of 8b and 9 and deciduous in the colder regions from Zones 8a north.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing about 18 to 24 inches tall and gradually spreading to form a 24 inch wide neat grassy clump, Going Bananas Daylily is ideal for use as an accent in smaller garden spaces and containers or in groupings, stunning mass plantings, or as a border along paths and walkways in landscape borders. Also nice as an accent or small grouping in home foundation plantings. A fine addition to daylily gardens, perennial gardens or yellow theme gardens.Â
Spacing:Â 18 inches for mass plantings or as a solid border edger; 36 inches or more for space between plants

Growing Preferences
When planted right and in the right spot, Daylilies are exceptionally easy to grow. Though they will perform well in a wide range of soil types and conditions, they prefer a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility. Full to mostly sun is preferred however plants will tolerate some lightly filtered sun or shade. We suggest at least 5 hours of direct sunlight for best flowering. Daylilies don’t require deadheading but the removal of spent flower scapes (stems) encourages quicker rebloom. When established, daylilies are moderately drought tolerant.
