Add dramatic color to your garden with this beautiful Lexington Avenue Daylily. Introduced by Munson in 1990, this distinctive perennial is admired for its large, approximately 6-inch flowers featuring rich wine-purple petals and a contrasting chalky pink eyezone.

Lexington Avenue is an early to midseason blooming daylily with a high bud count, offering an impressive floral display when grown under favorable conditions. Its semi-evergreen foliage and elegant flowers make it an attractive choice for perennial borders, cottage gardens, mixed flower beds, and decorative landscape plantings.
