Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An unusual name for such a delightful perennial! These pretty blooms are lightly-ruffled, creamy-apricot with a contrasting raspberry-pink throat. Not only are these flowers produced over a long season, they are highly fragrant! An unusual trait for daylilies! Wonderful in containers, borders or bouquets! S/M
This special, unusual daylily boasts fragrant, ruffled cream flowers with expansive purple centers and green throats...yum! Vigorous clumps are 18-24” tall, slowly expanding to 2-3’ wide; leaves are evergreen. Bloom is midsummer but it often reblooms in fall. Typical daylily culture – full sun, most soils, tolerates drought when established. USDA Z5
