Hemerocallis Purple D'oro
Bloom: Midseason, repeat (constant) bloomer
Colour: Lavender blooms with yellow throat and ruffled edges.
Several varieties of continuous blooming daylilies have been introduced over the past few years. In addition to the traditional Stella D’oro I have Happy Returns (light yellow), Rosy Returns (pink) and Purple D’oro (lavendar). Of the pinkish varieties I like Purple D’oro better than Rosy Returns as the colour is more intense and the blooms are a little higher over the foliage although it does not start blooming as early. Blooms start mid-season and continue through summer with sporadic blooms still appearing in September. Blooms are abundant with each scape having between 15 and 20 individual flowers.
Hemerocallis Purple D'oro scapes can have up to 20 individual flowers each making it a long season bloomer
