Hemerocallis ‘El Desperado’ (Daylily) is a compact perennial boasting a profusion of large, mustard-yellow flowers, 5 in. across (13 cm), adorned with a striking wine purple eye above a green throat. Blooming in late summer, the attractive blossoms are held neatly above its compact mound of arching, strap-like, green leaves. Each flower lasts at least 16 hrs (extended blooms) but no more than 24 hours (thus the common name ‘Daylily’), opening up in the morning and withering during the forthcoming night, possibly replaced by another one on the same scape (flower stalk) the next day. This midseason tetraploid daylily is dormant (deciduous).
