Wonderfully Fragrant!
Blooms early, then repeats near summer’s end.
A lovely contrast to the harsher colors of most Daylilies, this study in pastels casts a very dainty, feminine air in the garden. Its colors may be the first thing to catch the eye, but its most remarkable feature is its sweet scent — very strong for a Daylily, and absolutely luscious. You will love distinctively different Daylily.The blooms measure 4 1/2 inches wide, key lime green to cream with shades of peach and vanilla. The rosy-pink edges are nicely ruffles, and the entire petal is scored very faintly with veining that adds to its texture and color play. A handsome flower that repays a closer look.’Frosted Vintage Ruffles’ is an American introduction from Louisiana breeder Ken Begnaud.
