Super Purple Daylily: A 1979 Dove Royal Hue

Super Purple Daylily

The Super Purple daylily (Hemerocallis 'Super Purple'), hybridized by Dove and registered in 1979, lives up to its name with intensely saturated purple flowers. In an era when true purple daylilies were rare, this cultivar was a breakthrough for its deep, clear color without the muddy undertones common in earlier purple hybrids.

The blooms are medium to large with a clean form. The plant forms a sturdy clump and blooms in mid-season. It remains a benchmark for purple daylily color.
