hemerocallis 'Little Grapette'

Daylilly 'Little Grapette'

Hemerocallis ‘Little Grapette’ is a compact, early-blooming perennial valued for its rich grape-purple flowers and tidy habit. Narrow, arching green leaves form a neat, low clump in spring, followed by abundant, small purple blooms with a bright yellow throat in early to mid-summer, with each flower lasting a day but produced continuously over several weeks. Its compact size and bold color make it ideal for edging and mass plantings.
