The inflorescence is a helicoid cyme with 7 to 10 flowers. In landscaping it is mainly used as a ground cover plant, and can also be used in flower beds and flower borders.

  The golden doll daylily is suitable for widespread planting in garden green spaces in North China, Central China, East China, Northeast China and other regions. When used as a green space accent, the “golden doll” has a flowering period lasting as long as half a year, and its leaves sprout early in early spring, making its emerald green foliage clusters very attractive. In addition, it is both heat-tolerant and cold-resistant, highly adaptable, and simple to cultivate and manage, making it suitable for clump planting as an accent in green spaces such as urban parks and plazas.

  The golden doll daylily can be propagated by tissue culture and division. The annual propagation coefficient of the golden doll daylily is generally 1:6, and can reach 1:10 in fertile soil. Division can be carried out during the dormant period. In the Jiangsu-Zhejiang area, before early February, cut apart the dense clumps, keeping two or three buds per clump, and replant; they will bloom in the same year they are planted.

  The golden doll daylily is a perennial herbaceous plant of the genus Hemerocallis in the family Liliaceae (daylily family), and is the only multi-season flowering variety among the large-flowered daylilies introduced from North America. The golden doll daylily has bright green leaves and golden yellow flowers, with excellent group ornamental effect. In landscaping it is mainly used as a ground cover plant, and can also be used in flower beds and flower borders.

  The golden doll daylily grows in clumps, with a natural height of 30-40 cm, which is 1/3 of the plant height of common daylilies; the plants sprout early in spring, with bright green leaves; the flowers are golden yellow, with excellent group ornamental effect, blooming continuously from early May to mid-October, with a flowering period lasting as long as half a year.

  The golden doll daylily has strong cold and drought resistance, tolerates poor soil, and is relatively tolerant of extensive management. In northern regions it can overwinter naturally at minus 20 degrees Celsius in winter, and after two years of planting, it can rely on natural rainfall to maintain normal growth.
