Unique violet daylily with purple eye and blooms that open well. Lots of blooms. Tolerates shade well. A deep black purple with a large yellow green throat. Form is full and sepals twist and curl in a unique way.
Substance is heavy and holds well for such a dark color.
Plants are vigorous and clump rapidly. This daylily really stands out in the garden and grabs your attention. It always opens well, blooms a bunch and has great branching. Winner of an AHS 1992 Award of Merit given to those cultivars that are not only distinctive and beautiful but have proven themselves good performers over a wide geographic area and the 1992 Don C. Stevens Award given annually to an outstanding eyed or banded daylily. Nice compact plant.
