The Purple Daylily of My Dreams

16 years ago

Check out Imperial Coronation

This purple daylily is double, six-inch blooms, 36" high, fragrant, nocturnal, extended bloom, evergreen, BUT $180!

I guess I'll have to keep dreaming!!!

Beulah seems a bit pricey -- you could get a double fan direct from the hybridizer for $200.

But I agree -- it's a stunner!

Josie Buckner - owner of Beulah - passed away recently. I am not sure what the future will hold for that garden - sweet lady that sent wonderful plants.

Do you have any more available? I have these for trade for SABSE for a newbe! Have BI Purple, Stella Dora, Orange (ditch) daylily, pepparika yarrow seeds, white yarrow (plant) tickseed plant, coreopsis (tall butterscoth) to trade. Let me know. Newbe. I have zennia seeds, daliah seeds and bueish/green hosta seeds willing to trade. I do not have bubble envelope--just a business type to put them in and send them. Thanks. I am a newbe and do not had certain materials yet to send out--like baggies and bubble envelops and sticky labels, etc. So, if you can help--it would be appreciated--I do not need too many-and mixed colors of Columbine would work out for me. Unless you want to wait for me to get bubble envelop to send out. Will send you e-mail. Thanks, Pam Zone 6

Thanks, everyone. For those interested in Catastrophe Waitress, it is still somewhat difficult to find, but definitely worth it if you can get it. In my opinion, the plant doesn't have a single negative trait. You're welcome, Debra. True to Whim is usually a shade darker, but always has those distinctive midribs.

Thanks for the help everyone. I ended up getting Purple Arachne anyway because I didn't have any spiders and I liked the name and most importantly the nursery had it. This thread did make me realize that I need more daylilies so I think I'll start a daylily garden next to my garage next year. Any idea where I can get Parma Violet or some of the other Munsons?

I'm sorry to hear Ms. Buckner passed on, Shelly. I'm sure she was a sweet person.
And thanks for the link, random harvest. Didn't know it could be bought directly from the grower! However, I'll have to wait until the price drops to at least $50 or DH will be mad!

If I were to dream about a purple daylily it would be Bella Sera and it's only $85. Linda Beck would be a close second.

I am really impressed and if it ever gets into my price range (no more than $35) would try it out. It certainly looks different.

Edward, they're gorgeous! I think they'd look good in a bed with Imperial Coronation. I like to plant daylilies together that are similar colors & form, but varying enough to add interest. Too bad $85 is also out of my price limit!
