Daylily ‘Catherine Woodbury’ (Hemerocallis ‘Catherine Woodbury’) is a classic, fragrant daylily valued for its large, soft lavender-pink blooms with a subtle yellow throat and gently ruffled petals. The flowers appear in early to mid-summer on tall, arching scapes above clumps of long, strap-like green foliage. This variety is known for its reliable performance, attractive colour, and pleasant fragrance, making it an excellent choice for borders, mass plantings, and cottage-style gardens.
