I have no idea how daylily ‘Which Way Jim’ got its name, but i would like to think it has something to do with the fickle nature of the flowers. The registered description is “a dark black purple with faint, dusted purple eyezone above a triangle lemon-to-green throat.”
The eyezone on my flowers is rarely faint which is why I love this cultivar. There’s sort of a smoky-purple look to the petals, and the eyezone just pops out at you:
However, sometimes ‘Which Way Jim’ is shy about showing off his eyezone and you get this:

Whatever personality ‘Which Way Jim’ decides to showcase, the flowers are eye-catching and the plants are heavy bloomers.
‘Which Way Jim’ grows 26 inches tall with 6-inch, fragrant flowers that appear in the middle of the daylily season.
