Qualities:
Rebloomer

A uniquely shaped daylily that is easily recognizable in a crowd. Triangular, pale yellow petals have a large wine purple eye and a razor thin wine purple edge. An improved 'El Desperado', this variety has an improved flower form, a higher bud count, good branching, rebloom, and a slightly earlier bloom season compared to its predecessor.

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).

Characteristics (Compared to Other Daylilies)
  • Midseason Bloomer, blooming in July.
  • Rebloomer, producing a second set of flowers.
  • Fragrant flowers.
  • Dormant foliage.
  • Tetraploid with 44 chromosomes, twice as many as Diploids. Tetraploids tend to be bigger, stronger plants.
