Remains quite one of the darkest of all Daylilies and as such remains of value and in demand. The flowers have an old fashioned shape and are a stunning velvety maroon-black-red shade. The scapes are scarcely branched but so abundant this variety still flowers freely. It is also a quick grower. Looks superb planted with dark leafed Heuchera.

Semi Evergreen varieties maintain some foliage over-winter.
Evergreen varieties may maintain all foliage over the winter. The foliage state can be influenced by the severity or otherwise of the winter period.
It is often said that dormant varieties are the absolute hardiest but all offered varieties have been extensively trialled here and all are hardy.
Ploidy - Diploid
Ploidy - In layman's terms ploidy is the number of chromosomes a variety has. Older varieties are nearly all diploids but modern day breeding techniques resulted in improved tetraploid varieties with three chromosomes. It is difficult to distinguish between them in general plant appearance, although diploids do have ever so slightly narrower foliage. As far as the blooms are concerned tetraploids have flowers with thicker, heavier substance and fuller form and are the very pinnacle of perfection and grandeur. Diploids are not so heavily textured and can be more graceful in appearance. They also tend to open earlier in the day even when it is colder. Diploids will usually grow and increase more quickly.
Parentage - seedling
Parentage - The varieties that were crossed and hybridized to create the variety.
