Double Daylilies

A regular daylily has six segments: three petals and three sepals. A double has extra petals, so the bloom looks fuller, almost like a peony or a hose-in-hose flower with one bloom tucked inside another. If you love lush, full flowers, doubles are a treat.

Doubling can change with the weather. Many doubles come out fullest once the plant is established and the weather is warm, and some open a few single blooms early or late in the season. That’s normal. Where we know it, plant pages list a doubling percentage (like 98% or 50%) to show how often a plant tends to double.

Doubles are a smaller group, so our selection is choice rather than huge. It includes yellows, pinks, reds and darker tones, plus several rebloomers and a few fragrant ones. They’re wonderful up front where you can see the detail, and they make great cut flowers for a day on the table. Each page lists bloom season, height, ploidy and foliage type.

FAQ

What makes a daylily double?

It has more than the usual six segments. The extra petals make the bloom look full and layered.

Why did my double open as a single?

That’s common, especially early or late in the season and on young plants. Doubling usually improves once the plant is settled and the weather warms.

What does the doubling percentage mean?

It’s roughly how often the plant produces double blooms. We list it when we have it.
