Hemerocallis 'Wild Horses' (Daylily)

Hemerocallis 'Wild Horses' – A Dramatic Patterned Beauty

'Wild Horses' is a striking daylily hybridized by Trimmer and introduced in 1999. It features large, triangular flowers with a unique, complex pattern: a cream base overlaid with a bold, dark purple eye zone that feathers and streaks out onto the petals, reminiscent of a wild horse's coat. The throat is green. It is a mid-season bloomer with a vigorous habit. Its parentage includes 'Moonlit Masquerade' and 'Tet. Cleopatra'.
