Hemerocallis 'Blackthorne'
Common Name: Daylily
Very light creamy yellow blossoms with a hint of peach display a prominent wine purple eye and matching picotee edge half way up the attractively ruffled petals. The broad, rounded, recurved petals, glowing chartreuse throat, and diamond dusting make this flower even more beautiful.
Branched stems carry the 4½-5" blossoms first in midsummer and then again shortly after the first round of bloom (though it is not officially registered as a rebloomer).
Characteristics (Compared to Other Daylilies)
- Early Midseason Bloomer, blooming in early July.
- Rebloomer, producing a second set of flowers.
- Semi-Evergreen foliage.
This is considered a premium daylily, which means that it has been selected as highly performing plant with exceptional bloom performance, substantive, vibrantly colored flowers, complete winter hardiness in northern zones, and a vigorous habit.
Daylilies are some of the easiest perennials to grow and are a good choice for any gardener, from the beginner to the professional. These are tough, adaptable plants that can survive many harsh conditions that other plants cannot including: polluted city environments, slopes, poor and dry soils and near pavement that is salted in winter.
All varieties can be divided every 3-4 years by digging up the entire clump and dividing it into smaller pieces with a minimum of 3 eyes each. This can be done in either spring or fall. Plants should be deadheaded for cosmetic purposes, but in most cases this will not extend the bloom time.
