Lydia’s Regal Robe has an alluring and beckoning ivory edge on both its petals and sepals. Its color is a combination of deep purple with a lovely overlay of blue violet. It has a lighter shade of purple in its eyezone, combined with a beautifying green throat. We should recall that the diploid INDIAN GIVER is only registered to be 20” tall, whereas LYDIA’S REGAL ROBE is a full 37” tall. Also, the diploid INDIAN GIVER flower is only 4.5” in circumference, but LYDIA’S REGAL ROBE is a full 6” in circumference. Truly this grand daylily is deserving of its name which comes from the esteemed Biblical business woman, Lydia, who was known by all for the high quality of her purple cloth. Although LYDIA’S REGAL ROBE has such a lush, deep color, it nevertheless holds well in both hot sun and in the rain. At the end of a hot day it still looks fresh. Pod and pollen fertile.
