Hemerocallis 'King of the Ages'

Common Name: Daylily

If you're looking for a daylily that brings height to the garden, this is a top choice! In addition to tall scapes, 'King of the Ages' boasts incredible size with 6½" flowers. The petals are a unique blend of butter-yellow, peach, and apricot (officially, a "polychrome"). With its burgundy red eye and matching red picotee edge, this will definitely fill you with awe.
