Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Delightful round blue foliage on low spreading plants with gracefully arching stems. In late summer the foliage is completely hidden behind tiny brilliant star flowers. Tough and easy to grow, it loves a hot dry location and thrives in containers and rock
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
