Purple de Oro Daylily

Hemerocallis 'Purple de Oro'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial

Plant Family: Asphodelaceae

Plant Description: Abundant plum-purple flowers with golden centers and ruffly edges make this long-blooming perennial a top performer. Foliage is long and drooping with grass-like blades. Easily grown in a wide range of conditions, including drought and heat. As suggested by the name Daylily, flowers last one day but are produced over a long period of time. Divide every 3-5 years to maintain vigor.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous

Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
