Daylily Respect

Daylily ‘Respect’ is a bold, finely detailed cultivar introduced by Townsend-J. in 2014, admired for its refined color palette and dramatic edging. This variety combines classic rose tones with modern toothy and tentacled edging, creating a bloom that holds interest up close and from across the garden.

Flowers measure approximately 6 inches, opening soft rose with a gold edge accented by teeth and tentacles, extending onto the sepals for a fully finished look. The gold-to-green throat adds depth and contrast at the center of the bloom. Plants reach about 30 inches tall, bloom early-midseason, and are known to rebloom. As a tetraploid with 16 buds and 3 branches, ‘Respect’ offers dependable scape strength and repeat performance. Its semi-evergreen habit makes it adaptable across a wide range of climates.

A strong garden performer with collector appeal, especially for those who appreciate toothy and tentacled edges.
