Daylily Crocodile Rock

Daylily ‘Crocodile Rock’ is a bold tetraploid introduction by Polston from 2015, admired for its tall scapes, rich golden coloration, and distinctive toothy edging. This cultivar delivers strong vertical presence in the garden along with dependable midseason bloom and rebloom.

The 5.5-inch blooms open in warm orange-gold tones, complemented by golden sepals and a matching gold throat that creates a cohesive, glowing appearance. A toothy edge adds texture and visual interest, giving the flower extra character without overpowering its form. The coloration holds well in the garden and pairs beautifully with both warm and cool companion plants.

Plants reach approximately 36 inches tall and feature dormant foliage, making them well suited for colder climates. Blooming midseason with reliable rebloom, ‘Crocodile Rock’ produces around 15 buds on 4 well-spaced branches, providing a balanced and extended flowering display.

A tall, rugged daylily ideal for borders, focal plantings, and collections highlighting strong color and toothy edge detail.
