Hemerocallis Cosmic Struggle

Hemerocallis 'Cosmic Struggle'

Common Name: Daylily

Stunningly intense, rich wine purple flowers are lined neatly with a lemon-yellow picotee edge. The purple color holds up well and does not fade. The lined margins accentuate the color for an incredibly attractive look. A subtle, dark lavender watermark above the eye.

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)

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