Hemerocallis College Colors (Daylily)
Thinly pointed deep purple-red petals with pale midribs and a gold throat rise high above full green foliage. Slow 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.
