Hemerocallis 'Black Arrowhead'

Daylily - Spider Type

Plant Type:

DAYLILY (HEMEROCALLIS)

Hemerocallis 'Black Arrowhead' – Spider type. The heart of each amazing 7.5 inch flower on this spider type is a brilliant yellow-chartreuse with a black raspberry outline forming a striking, limned six-pointed star. The remainder of the recurved petals are a lighter mauve-purple complete with creamy lavender midribs which lighten to near white as the flower ages. The dark eye really sets off each flower and demands attention. What a looker! Almost makes you wanna eat it! By the way... the flowers are edible. The buds steamed for 2 minutes and served hot with butter melting on top: YUM! But eat the less interesting ones. Save 'Black Arrowhead' for looking.

Genus Overview: Hemerocallis

Common Name: Daylily

The well-known daylily. We have become increasingly taken with the late and very late bloomers. Those glorious daylily trumpets add such rich and contrasting texture to mops and strands of goldenrods, Joe-pye weeds and late season daisy flowers that occur in abundance at this time; they are splendid with the broad flattened domes of ironweeds, the spikes of Persicaria amplexicaulis ‘Firetail’ plus the seeds and berries that so opulently populate the landscape in the late season. We are offering a handful of mid-season bloomers. Of course, most of the breeding has centered about these and for this reason many of these cultivars are fancier. But we find there is elegance in the simpler flower form and gentler colors, often soft pastels, in the later selections. Most of the late bloomers but not all have originated with Olallie Daylily Gardens in South Newfane, VT. All cultivars are hardy in USDA zones 3 to 9 unless otherwise marked. All of the following are sent as bareroot divisions of our plants.
