Big Color in a Small Package — Little Grapette Daylily

Don't let the name fool you — Little Grapette Daylily (Hemerocallis x 'Little Grapette') packs a serious punch. This compact, semi-evergreen perennial forms a tidy mound of arching, grass-like deep green foliage, then erupts all summer long with a heavy flush of small but striking grape-purple flowers. Each bloom features distinct veining, a deeper purple eye, and a bright contrasting yellow throat that makes it pop from across the garden. Drought and salt tolerant once established, it's a reliable performer in borders, coastal gardens, and containers alike.

Care & Maintenance

Low maintenance and relatively pest-free. Watch for mites, aphids, and thrips. Daylily Rust can be an issue in some regions — good air circulation helps. Divide clumps every 3–4 years in fall or spring to keep plants vigorous and blooming their best.

Landscape Uses

Ideal for accents or mass plantings in borders, woodland gardens, naturalized areas, wildlife gardens, coastal gardens, and containers. Its compact size makes it perfect for edging and small-space gardens.
