#APRAZKA ‘El Desperado’ is one of our personal favorite daylilies. Gorgeous blooms are a striking color combination of mustard yellow with a wine-purple eyezone and matching thin edge. Clocking in around 5? in diameter, these eye-catching blooms are held high on scapes well over 2? tall in our East Tennessee garden. Excellent branching and bud count means this beauty puts on a great show! Winner of the Award of Merit and the Don C Stevens Award for an eyed daylily. El Desperado is a late season daylily—such a gorgeous way to extend daylily season! If you live to our north, you’ll see it a few weeks after we do. If you live to our south, you’ll get to see it a bit before us. Excellent branching and bud count equals many blooms per scape which means lots of blooms, blooms, blooms! As a dormant daylily, El Desperado is best suited for those who live in areas that receive a sustained winter cold period like those in zones 3-8.
