HEMEROCALLIS x ‘Purple d’ Oro’ (Daylily)

Description

Daylilies have naturalized along many highways throughout North America; it’s difficult to think of a hardier plant. Their vigorous growth habit is not usually impeded by any insects or disease. They seemto grow in any soil, and they are quite salt tolerant. While a profusion of bloom is assured in any sunny garden, part shade is easily tolerated. Although the flower of this plant does indeed last only one day, a scape will have numerous buds, and a plant will have many scapes. Therefore a mature plant will have many flowers open at any one time. By choosing varieties that bloom at different times, the Daylily garden can be in bloom for months.

purple LSP-MSU 18-24″H x 18-24″W Reddish-purple flowers have ruffled edges and yellowish throats. Trumpet-like flowers are 2½-3” wide. Deadhead for maximum rebloom.
