In the Catholic church, Saint Francis of Assisi is the patron saint of the environment and nature. He loved nature, and his statue adorns many gardens across the world. In his honor, we present one of our most distinct day lilies – The Francis of Assisi Day Lily!
Big blooms of burgundy red have a bold, clear white edging on the fantastically ruffled edges that echo the unusual white eye – absolutely stunning! The bloom form is excellent, with broad petals that open wide to make the most of their color show, and these petals have pointed ends that impart a triangular look, very different and distinctive. The plant’s constitution is quite vigorous, which enables it to provide a second bloom period for your delectation. Bud count and branching are excellent (which translates to a lot of blooms over a long period), and the foliage is thick and attractive all season. Altogether, this is a great modern Daylily!
