Purple Badger is a unusual-form daylily with purple with white band and tooth edge above yellow throat, giving it strong presence in a mixed daylily planting. We list it with 38 in scapes, 8 in blooms, early-to-midseason, tetraploid, semi-evergreen so gardeners can compare it quickly with other varieties in the field. Notable traits include fragrant bloom, rebloom potential, 18 buds and 3 branches. For best results, review the bloom size, season, and field location alongside the photo before adding it to your list.
