After 14 years of building up stock, we are pleased to offer you 'Raspberry Eclipse', from Chris Meyer, the hybridizer of 'Going Bananas'. 5½" extremely showy, beautiful flowers are raspberry purple with a lavender purple band. Heavily ruffled, frilly edges highlight the lemon yellow picotee edge.

Daylilies can survive many harsh conditions that other plants cannot including: polluted city environments, slopes, poor and dry soils, near pavement that is salted in winter, and under Black Walnut trees (not affected by juglone).
