Daylily: Idiot Philanthropist

I've been accused of "giving away the farm" SO MANY times over the past few decades of this daylily gig, and figured since a true "philanthropist" gives cash (and all I do is offer up charitable intro's and TONS of gift plants to folks)... perhaps it's time for a somewhat self-titled introduction - of "Idiot Philanthropist"!

Indeed... this amazingly patterned beauty has truly consistent form, and with such fast rebloom, just keeps "giving, and giving... and giving!" A lavender-purple blend, the banded patterned charcoal eye is striking in contrast. Quite fertile, and kids are showing great patterns and rebloom as well! Producing these types of wonderful performers (and lookers!) in very hardy dormant form is difficult... but not "impossible", and I DO try to keep my northern friends happy with many to choose from!
