Product Description
Hemerocallis 'The Band Played On' (25) Bare Root Plants
Common Name: Daylily
5½" rosy purple flowers are almost entirely covered by a massive near-black purple eye zone and matching picotee edge. Use this daylily for a splash of purple color in early summer to brighten up the middle of the border before most other daylilies have started to bloom.
Daylilies can survive many harsh conditions that other plants cannot including: polluted city environments, slopes, poor and dry soils, near pavement that is salted in winter, and under Black Walnut trees (not affected by juglone).
