Notes
'Prairie Blue Eyes' daylily (Hemerocallis 'Prairie Blue Eyes') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, loamy, clay, or chalky soil. Fragrant lavender flowers with green throats bloom in early to late summer and attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. It sits low on the menu for rabbits. It also tolerates drought and salt.
Pairs well with American Gold Rush black-eyed Susan, Sedge, and Garlic chives.
