Description
Large purple flowers with lime-green throats make Hemerocallis Bela Lugosi a strong midsummer focus above an upright clump of strap-shaped foliage. Branching stems hold the single, ruffled blooms above the leaves.
Plant it in full sun in fertile, moist but well-drained soil. It also handles heavy clay and poorer soils. Use it in flowering borders, masses, or patio containers, and water during dry spring and early-summer weather to support flowering.
This plant is toxic if eaten by cats; keep it out of their reach.
