This striking variety produces extra-large flowers in a sumptuous shade of deep burgundy-purple that appears nearly black in certain light conditions. The velvety petals feature elegantly ruffled edges that soften the bold colour, while a bright yellow-green throat at the centre of each bloom creates a vivid and eye-catching contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt;\"\u003ePlants form dense clumps of semi-evergreen, arching green foliage with sturdy scapes that hold the large flowers well above the leaves. The combination of dramatic flower colour, impressive bloom size and sturdy architecture makes this variety a natural focal point wherever it is planted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt;\"\u003eThe main flush of flowers appears in late spring to early summer, and some intermittent rebloom may occur later in the season. Each individual flower opens for a single day, but with multiple buds produced on each branching scape, the flowering period stretches over several weeks. The dark, moody blooms create particularly stunning combinations when planted alongside lighter or brighter coloured perennials, ornamental grasses or silver-foliaged plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 10.0pt 0cm 5.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.0pt;\"\u003eHow to Grow\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt;\"\u003ePlant daylily bare root divisions in mild weather, usually autumn to early winter in many Australian regions. Choose full sun to part shade. In hot inland, subtropical and arid areas, morning sun with afternoon protection is safer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt;\"\u003ePlant into fertile, free-draining soil improved with compost or aged organic matter. Avoid waterlogged sites. Set the crown at soil level or just lightly covered, then spread the roots out gently and firm the soil around them. Space plants 40 to 60 cm apart, depending on the variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt;\"\u003eWater in well after planting. Keep soil evenly moist while plants establish. Once established, daylilies tolerate short dry spells, but flowering is better with regular deep watering during active growth. Feed in spring with a balanced slow-release fertiliser. Avoid excessive nitrogen if flowering is poor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt;\"\u003eRemove spent flower stems after flowering. Tidy old foliage as needed.

Keep plants, flowers, pollen, cut stems and vase water away from cats. Seek urgent veterinary advice if a cat may have chewed, licked or swallowed any part of the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt;\"\u003eDaylilies are mainly a serious risk to cats.
