Hemerocallis 'Dances With Giraffes'
Daylily - Cascade
Plant Type:
DAYLILY (HEMEROCALLIS)Hemerocallis 'Dances With Giraffes' – Big and tall cascade form. Golden yellow with a soft peachy-rose blush eye in the shape of a fuzzy chevron and long petals that cascade, curl and/or twist. You'll have trouble taking your eyes off this tower of towers (did you know that a group of giraffes is called a "tower"... I hadn't a clue until I looked it up!) As to the "dancing with"... probably only in a la "Life of Pi" hallucination. But, hey, dancin' and dreamin' is good. And 'Dances with Giraffes' is cool! Won't pod easily but does offer fertile pollen.

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.
