Description
Hemerocallis Purple de Oro forms compact, arching clumps of green, blade-like foliage beneath purple flowers with lighter midribs, ruffled edges, and gold throats. Individual blooms open for about a day, while new buds extend the display from early summer into early fall.
This hardy perennial suits sunny or partly shaded borders, garden edging, mass plantings, and outdoor containers. Its repeat flowers attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees, and established plants tolerate dry periods.
Grow it in well-drained clay, loam, or sandy soil. Water during dry spells, remove spent flower stalks after flowering, and clear old foliage in late fall. The plant is toxic to cats if eaten, so keep it out of their reach.
