Lily ‘Purple d’Oro’ (a compact Daylily cultivar, Hemerocallis) is a reblooming perennial known for its rich purple to violet flowers with a contrasting yellow throat. The blooms are trumpet-shaped and appear in clusters on sturdy, slender stems above a tidy clump of arching, strap-like green foliage. This variety is valued for its extended flowering period, compact size, and excellent performance in borders and landscape plantings. It is a reliable rebloomer through summer when grown in good light and well-drained soil.
