Hemerocallis 'Purple De Oro'

Purple De Oro Daylily

Hemerocallis ‘Purple de Oro’ is a compact, reblooming perennial valued for its rich purple blooms and extended flowering season. Narrow, arching green leaves form a tidy clump in spring, followed by abundant, small to medium deep purple flowers with a bright yellow throat beginning in early summer and continuing intermittently into fall, with each bloom lasting a day but produced continuously over time. Its compact size and repeat bloom make it a strong choice for edging and containers.
