Prairie Blue Eyes daylily blooms prolifically. The lavender flowers have a near blue eye-zone and a large yellow/green throat. Each petal has a mid-rib of a lighter purple. The sepals are dramatically recurved, giving the flower a distinctly triangular shape. The blooms appear in mid-season, measuring 5¼ inches. They attract butterflies. In milder climates the foliage is green all year round. Although each flower lasts only one day, there are multiple buds on each stalk and several stalks on each plant. The buds open in series, so a single plant will continue to bloom for 2 weeks or more. It is easy to grow and does well in full sun to part shade. Prairie Blue Eyes has been awarded the Award of Merit 1976, Honorable Mention 1973, and Junior Citation 1970 by the American Hemerocallis Society.
