Hemerocallis 'Black Arrowhead'

Black Arrowhead Daylily

Deciduous Perennial

This perennial plant has clumps of strappy green foliage. It produces tall scapes that bear large, showy, 7.5-inch spider-like blooms. The flowers are burgundy-purple with a yellow-green throat. The foliage is semi-evergreen in some cases. It has a long blooming period and occasionally reblooms. Hardy in USDA Zones 3-9, it is easy to grow and drought-tolerant once established. Deadheading improves its appearance.
