Prairie Blue Eyes Daylily

Prairie Blue Eyes Daylily delivers a standout combination of color, consistency, and stress-free growth. Each 5¼" bloom is painted in soft lavender with a near-blue eye and green throat—an unusual and captivating palette that earns admiration from garden visitors and pollinators alike. Rising above deep green foliage on tall, leafless scapes, this daylily makes a clean, refined statement from mid to late summer, all while withstanding heat, humidity, and neglect with grace.

Distinctive color that holds its own: The lavender petals and cool-toned eye give Prairie Blue Eyes an uncommon look in the daylily world. It pairs well with deeper purples, soft whites, or golden hues—perfect for gardeners who enjoy thoughtful color layering in sunny beds or borders.

Award-winning reliability: Recognized with the American Hemerocallis Society Award of Merit, Prairie Blue Eyes isn’t just beautiful—it’s proven. Year after year, it delivers consistent bloom, healthy foliage, and low-maintenance performance that experienced gardeners value.

Heat-tolerant and resilient: Not every daylily handles summer extremes equally well, but this one thrives in hot, humid conditions without skipping a beat. It’s a smart choice for tough locations where fussier perennials tend to fail.

Elegant form and structure: Each flower is held on tall, leafless stems (scapes) that keep the blooms clean and visible. Below, the tidy clump of arching, blade-like foliage remains attractive throughout the growing season, adding fine texture to the garden.

Good for gardeners and pollinators: Prairie Blue Eyes is not just a visual treat—it also supports butterflies and other beneficial pollinators, adding ecological value to its already impressive list of traits.
