Dragon's Eye Daylily: A 1991 Salter Stunner

Dragon's Eye Daylily

The Dragon's Eye daylily (Hemerocallis 'Dragon's Eye'), also known as 'Dragons Eye', is a dramatic cultivar hybridized by E.H. Salter and registered in 1991. The name hints at its striking appearance: large flowers with a prominent, contrasting eye zone that resembles a dragon's pupil, often in deep red or purple against a lighter background.

The petals are typically ruffled and may exhibit a crystalline texture. This variety is a vigorous grower with well-branched scapes and a high bud count, blooming in mid-to-late season.
