The Hemerocallis cultivar, 'Spacecoast
Sandhill Strut' identified as seedling
number 272-21, showcases unique
coloration and structural features that
distinguish it in the realm of tetraploid
daylilies. This cultivar produces large

providing a striking visual display. The
petals and sepals are delicately edged with

aesthetic appeal in garden settings. The
plant exhibits robust 4-5 way branching

ensuring a prolific flowering period.
Spacecoast Sandhill Strut is fertile both

rebloomer, which contributes to its
extended decorative value and utility in
breeding programs. It demonstrates very
good resistance to rust, leaf streak, and
insect damage, affirming its resilience and
adaptability across a range of
environmental conditions. Suitable for
cultivation in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones
5-10, this daylily combines striking
ornamental qualities with significant
agronomic performance, making it a
valuable addition to both commercial and
private gardens, as well as in breeding
programs focused on developing new
daylily varieties with unique and desirable
traits.
