LYDIA'S REGAL ROBE
LYDIA'S REGAL ROBE. (Cosmic Sensation x Tet. Indian Giver). Semievergreen
but leans toward dormancy. Early to midseason
blooms. 37”tall, 6”flower, three-way branching,
24 buds. Lydia’s Regal Robe has an alluring and beckoning
ivory edge on both its petals and sepals. Its color
is a combination of deep purple with a lovely overlay
of blue violet. It has a lighter shade of purple in its
eyezone, combined with a beautifying green throat.
We should recall that the diploid INDIAN GIVER
is only registered to be 20” tall, whereas LYDIA’S REGAL
ROBE is a full 37” tall. Also, the diploid INDIAN
GIVER flower is only 4.5” in circumference, but
LYDIA’S REGAL ROBE is a full 6” in circumference.
Truly this grand daylily is deserving of its name
which comes from the esteemed Biblical business
woman, Lydia, who was known by all for the high
quality of her purple cloth. Although LYDIA’S REGAL
ROBE has such a lush, deep color, it nevertheless
holds well in both hot sun and in the rain. At the end of
a hot day it still looks fresh. Pod and pollen fertile.
$150.00.
