Daylily (Hemerocallis x 'Purple de Oro') - Description
This dwarf, purple beauty has large, fragrant flowers and a contrasting golden-green throat. Vigorous blooms form in mid-season, and again in late summer. Ideal companion for the bright yellow of Stella de Oro as their color and forms are perfectly complementary. Together they can give a real lush and colorful look even in drought tolerant and low maintenance gardens.
Daylily (Hemerocallis x 'Purple de Oro') - Blooming
The funnel-shaped blooms last for only one day, but new blooms continue for weeks or months from late spring through the summer. The flowers bloom on tall stalks, starting at the top. When used as cut flowers, a single bloom will fade after one day, but the other buds will flower on subsequent days.
