Hemerocallis 'Nile Crane' (Nile Crane Daylily) - Another great hybrid daylily introduced by Munson in 1978. This tetraploid is evergreen and the rich green foliage matures to a height of 26 inches. It forms silver-lilac to bluish-lavender cream-throated blossoms with highlights of cream-flesh and chartreuse which start in midseason and repeat. Plant in full sun and provide regular watering for optimum results. Tolerates partial shade. Divide mature clumps every 3 to 5 years and fertilize in late spring for added vigor. Hemerocallis comes from two Greek words meaning ''beauty'' and ''day,'' referring to the fact that each flower lasts only a day. We grew this plant from 1994 to 2009.
