Notes
'Respighi' daylily (Hemerocallis 'Respighi') is a perennial for borders and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average soil. Rabbits rarely make it their first choice. The wine purple blooms have white eye zones and a yellow-green throat. They are fragrant and draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees.
Pairs well with Blonde Ambition blue grama, Gooseneck loosestrife, and Ageratum.
