Daylily Pulling Teeth

Daylily ‘Pulling Teeth’

Daylily ‘Pulling Teeth’ is a refined tetraploid introduction by Lambertson from 2014, admired for its soft bitone coloring, distinctive toothy edging, and reliable rebloom. This cultivar offers subtle beauty with textural interest, making it a versatile choice for both collector gardens and landscape use.

The 5-inch blooms open with very light peach-yellow petals paired with lighter sepals, creating a gentle bitone effect. Crisp gold teeth accent the petal edges, adding sparkle and contrast without overpowering the soft coloration. A clean green throat brightens the center and ties the palette together.

Plants reach approximately 24 inches tall and feature semi-evergreen foliage, offering adaptability across a wide range of climates. Blooming early to midseason with dependable rebloom, ‘Pulling Teeth’ produces around 20 buds on 3 branches, providing a steady and extended floral display.

A charming daylily ideal for borders, perennial beds, and collections emphasizing toothy edges, soft color, and repeat performance.
