Hemerocallis Rock Solid

Hemerocallis 'Rock Solid'

Common Name: Daylily

An impressive, reliable daylily in terms of both performance and attractiveness. Light mauve flowers have an extremely wide, dark purple eye and a matching dark purple picotee edge. 'Rock Solid' has a very high bud count and well branched scapes.

Daylilies can survive many harsh conditions that other plants cannot including: polluted city environments, slopes, poor and dry soils, near pavement that is salted in winter, and under Black Walnut trees (not affected by juglone).

Characteristics (Compared to Other Daylilies)

• Early Midseason Bloomer, blooming in early July.
• Rebloomer, producing a second set of flowers.
• Very Fragrant flowers.
• Dormant foliage.
• Tetraploid with 44 chromosomes, twice as many as Diploids. Tetraploids tend to be bigger, stronger plants.
