Plant Type: Daylilies

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 4.5-5″ blossoms first in midsummer and then again shortly after the first round of bloom (though it is not officially registered as a rebloomer). Semi-evergreen tetraploid.
