Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Coyote Moon')

I have had Coyote Moon several years now. Not a large flower, but a prolific bloomer. Very hardy here for an evergreen in zone 6 and I really enjoy it.

Coyote Moon has been here for years it is hardy here in zone 4, has lots of flowers in a medium size blooms early in the season. The third photo above is from my garden.

I've had COYOTE MOON here since 2007. Consistent reliable hardy E bloomer - Usually July 01st. FFO here in south- central Ontario (Zone 4-5?) but has had its FFO as late as July 10th. Slowish developer but forms a nice neat small clump. One of only a few tetraploids I keep hereabouts (Work with mostly EE + E diploids) Bought it because it was registered as EE & is bred out of 3 Tet-Conversions. Several years ago I recall I did have seedlings from COYOTE MOON when I tried a few Tet X's - but didn't note if they were from pod or pollen.

Perfectly hardy here and increases well. It has been growing here for about 20 years. When it first arrived I split the double fan and planted a single fan at each end of a row. They have been two large clumps for many years. Pod and pollen fertile. I should go out and check whether it acts like an evergreen here but there is snow on the ground. I expect that it goes winter dormant in the autumn and sprouts in the spring from buds below ground. I will check that towards the end of this week and update this post.

Coyote Moon is also consistently hardy to zone 3. It's perhaps not quite the full 28-inches it is listed for, but still stays above 2-feet. Is it just my gardens, or do polymerous blooms love colder climates? Along with many other daylilies here, Coyote Moon puts out poly blooms.

It's reliable and blooms consistently, hardy in cold climates, and really a very pretty (though small) flower. It has a very good bud count.
