WaltersGardens’ Going Bananas daylily is an improvement of Happy Returns from its own breeding program. The plant got its moniker because it flowered so profusely for so long that plants looked like they were “going bananas” in the garden, according to Walters’ director of marketing communications Susan Martin.
The canary-yellow flowers with a green throat measure 4 inches in diameter and are slightly fragrant. The color is a bit lighter than Happy Returns. Recurved, overlapping petals have slightly ruffled margins.
Plants produce 10-15 well-spaced flowers per scape. Flowers open symmetrically just above the foliage. Going Bananas starts flowering one to two weeks later than Happy Returns in early summer, but will bloom continuously into early fall.
