‘Cradle of Bethlehem’ has lovely dark purple edges surrounding that lime-yellow throat. It’s a dormant daylily cultivar that was registered in 2007.
‘Cradle of Bethlehem’ grows 26 inches tall with 5.5-inch flowers (and yet mine are bigger this year!):
This daylily won an Honorable Mention award from the American Daylily Society in 2010.
