Hemerocallis 'Blackthorne'
Common Name: Daylily
Very light creamy yellow blossoms with a hint of peach display a prominent wine purple eye and matching picotee edge half way up the attractively ruffled petals. The broad, rounded, recurved petals, glowing chartreuse throat, and diamond dusting make this flower even more beautiful.
Branched stems carry the 4½-5" blossoms first in midsummer and then again shortly after the first round of bloom (though it is not officially registered as a rebloomer).
Daylilies can survive many harsh conditions that other plants cannot including: polluted city environments, slopes, poor and dry soils, near pavement that is salted in winter, and under Black Walnut trees (not affected by juglone).
Characteristics (Compared to Other Daylilies)
- Early Midseason Bloomer, blooming in early July.
- Rebloomer, producing a second set of flowers.
- Semi-Evergreen foliage.
- Tetraploid with 44 chromosomes, twice as many as Diploids. Tetraploids tend to be bigger, stronger plants.
