Hemerocallis Blackthorne (Daylily)

Creamy petals with a deep purple-black eye, thin dark edging, and a green throat rise high above full evergreen foliage. Moderate growth rate.

The common name comes from the fact that each flower only lasts for no more than 24 hours- they open in the morning and wither before the following evening- some to be replaced by another flower on the same scape.
