Canary Castle (Gossard, 2025) 1Fan

The Hemerocallis daylily cultivar,’Canary Castle’ designated as Seedling 701-19 is a tetraploid daylily cultivar distinguished by its striking canary yellow blooms with a subtle chartreuse green cast. The large, pronounced toothy edge adds an intricate textural element, while a vivid green throat enhances the contrast and depth of the flower. Measuring 7 inches in diameter, the blooms are supported by towering 45-inch scapes with 3–4-way branching, producing a bud count of 18–24.
This mid-to-late season bloomer exhibits a dormant growth habit, extended morning opening (emo), and a notable fragrance, increasing its ornamental appeal. Additionally, it is a reliable rebloomer and is fertile both ways, making it an excellent candidate for breeding programs focused on enhancing edge development, throat intensity, and overall plant vigor.
Canary Castle demonstrates excellent rust resistance, ensuring strong adaptability and resilience in diverse growing conditions. Well-suited for USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 4–10, this cultivar combines bold coloration, unique floral texture, and disease resistance, making it a valuable addition to ornamental horticulture and daylily hybridization efforts.
