Plant Features

Brookwood Black Kitten Hemerocallis Plant has sturdy looking blossoms that emerge a deep purplish-red and then darken over time, beginning on the border of the petal, to a purple so dark it is almost black. This Daylily no doubt received its name due to its yellow somewhat furry looking eye, the whole of which resembles a kitten's eye. At the center of that yellow eye is a lime-colored throat above which green and red anthers rise.

Our Hemerocallis (Daylily) Plants are carefully cultivated without harmful pesticides, ensuring they are a safe and stunning addition to your garden. Guaranteed to arrive healthy and ready to thrive!
