Daylily Doctor Jackson

Daylily ‘Doctor Jackson’ is a refined tetraploid introduction by Thaubald from 2021, valued for its rich coloration, fragrance, and dependable rebloom. This cultivar delivers strong late-season interest with compact scapes and well-balanced blooms, making it an excellent choice for both collectors and garden plantings.

The 5-inch blooms open in deep cranberry-wine tones, accented by a clean gold edge that adds definition and elegance. A bright yellow throat provides contrast at the center, enhancing the depth and warmth of the overall color palette. The flowers are fragrant, adding sensory appeal to the late summer garden.

Plants reach approximately 20 inches tall and feature dormant foliage, making them well suited for colder climates. Blooming late in the season with reliable rebloom, ‘Doctor Jackson’ extends color into a time when many daylilies have finished.

A compact, fragrant daylily ideal for borders, front-of-bed placement, and collections emphasizing late bloom and rich color.
