Hemerocallis 'Eli Murphy'
Daylily
Plant Type:
DAYLILY (HEMEROCALLIS)Hemerocallis 'Eli Murphy' – An audacious autumn gold with a red-orange band on crazy tall, strong and stout scapes. 'Eli Murphy' is very vigorous with a flowering season that can stretch to as long as 10 weeks. Loads of fragrant flowers on this back of the border daylily decked out in classic autumn colors. Parentage is 'Autumn Minaret' x 'Benzinger' introduced by Jim Murphy. It's fertile both ways. we had one heckuva crazy windy day while ours was in flower a few years back and we wish under the circumstances we had carefully staked this very tall daylily... use your imagination!

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.
