Goody Goody Gumdrop
We'd call Goody Goody Gumdrop 'sweet,' but it handles a North Carolina summer like a champ. Here at Hillside Lilies in Vale (Catawba County, NC), the Goody Goody Gumdrop daylily is one we keep an eye on every season. One more reason North Carolina daylilies are worth the hype.
Color & form: Creamy pink reverse bitone with etched pink watermarked eye above cloverleaf yellow to green throat; 3.25 in blooms
Bloom time in Vale, NC: photographed in bloom in our garden on June 19, 2026; AHS season: midseason
Bloom factoid: We only have one season of bloom photos so far (2026), so the jury's still out on its Vale, NC timing. That lines up with its registered AHS season (midseason).

In our garden: It had a fresh bloom scape up on October 21, 2026.
