Hemerocallis 'Bela Lugosi'

Bela Lugosi Daylily is a striking perennial celebrated for its large, saturated true-purple flowers and dramatic contrasting centers. Each impressive 6-inch bloom features rich purple petals surrounding a vivid lime-green throat, creating an intense color combination that stands out beautifully in the summer garden.

Growing Tips

Plant in full sun for the strongest flowering performance. Daylilies prefer well-drained soil and benefit from regular watering while becoming established and during extended dry periods. Removing spent flowers keeps plants tidy, and you can divide established clumps as needed to maintain vigorous growth.

With its enormous true-purple blooms, brilliant lime-green throat, and impressive color retention, Bela Lugosi Daylily is a standout choice for adding deep, dramatic color to the summer garden.

-Plants ship in a grower's pot, fully rooted.
-We ship every Monday and Tuesday (excluding holidays) to avoid weekend delays.
-Our photos show what you can expect, but each plant is unique and may look slightly different upon arrival.
-Minor damage during shipping is entirely normal and should be expected, especially in extreme summer or winter temperatures. Don’t worry—damaged foliage can be trimmed away and will not affect the plant's root system or overall health.
