Daylily Mystic Butterfly

Daylily ‘Mystic Butterfly’

Daylily ‘Mystic Butterfly’ is a refined tetraploid introduction by Petit from 2011, admired for its intricate patterning, elegant picotee, and graceful tentacled edge. This cultivar blends softness and detail beautifully, offering a sophisticated look with dependable rebloom.

The 5-inch blooms open ivory in color and feature a violet patterned eye that continues outward as a matching picotee. A fresh green throat brightens the center of the bloom, while a delicate gold tentacle edge adds texture and artistic flair without overpowering the flower. The overall effect is balanced, detailed, and visually engaging from both near and far.

Plants reach approximately 28 inches tall and feature semi-evergreen foliage, offering adaptability across a wide range of climates. Blooming midseason with reliable rebloom, ‘Mystic Butterfly’ provides a steady and extended floral display highlighted by its refined coloration and distinctive edging.

A graceful and detailed daylily ideal for borders, focal plantings, and collections emphasizing patterned eyes, picotees, and elegant edge detail.
