Notes
'Late Plum' daylily (Hemerocallis 'Late Plum') 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. It bears fragrant plum blooms that draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. It is not a favorite of rabbits, though hungry rabbits will eat almost anything. It also handles drought and salt well.
Pairs well with Spotted beebalm, Kansas peony, and Stargazer lily.
