Hemerocallis 'Grape Magic'

Grape Magic Daylily

Hemerocallis ‘Grape Magic’ is a bold perennial valued for its rich, velvety purple blooms and strong garden performance. Arching, strap-like green leaves form a dense clump in spring, followed by abundant, large deep grape-purple flowers with a contrasting golden-yellow throat in mid-summer, with each bloom lasting a day but produced over several weeks. Its intense color provides striking contrast in sunny borders.
