Notes
'Lady Eva' daylily (Hemerocallis 'Lady Eva') is a perennial for borders and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average soil. The fragrant violet blooms have dark purple eyezones and yellow throats, and butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit them. It sits low on the menu for rabbits. Drought and salt do not bother it much.
Pairs well with Blanket flower, Indian grass, and Duchesse de Nemours peony.
