This was a spectacular growing season for daylilies, and my hands-down favorite was ‘Lavender Exaltation.’ I’ve grown this cultivar for several years now, but it really showed off this summer.
‘Lavender Exaltation’ grows only 22 inches tall so you can put it in the front of a border and enjoy the beautiful blooms up close.
Those 6-inch flowers are bluish-lavender with a darker lavender eye and petal edges and have a contrasting lime green throat. I couldn’t stop snapping photos!
The flowers are also fragrant, and this daylily bloomed every day for me for 6 weeks.
‘Lavender Exaltation is an evergreen daylily that starts blooming in the middle of the daylily season.
