H. ‘Laura Eva’ (K. Lamb 2015) Tetraploid.

25" height, mid-season, 6" flower, 4-way branching, 20 buds, semi-evergreen, tetraploid, (seedling X ‘Harlow’) $75/double fan

This soft lavender rose-white blend has white ruffled edges on wide petals with soft white midribs, an orchid halo, recurved sepals, and a green-to-yellow throat.

Smaller in stature, we almost lost it among towering seedlings, including what became ‘Molly’s Favorite’ at 40" tall! Plant ‘Laura Eva’ near the front of the border to enjoy its delicate features. ‘Laura Eva’ increases more slowly than some, but—despite its dainty appearance—it opens well and is reliably cold-hardy.

‘Laura Eva’ was named in memory of Kathy's mother. Before she passed away, Kathy's mom asked to have a lavender daylily named for her. We think she would love this soft, feminine flower.

'Laura Eva' has a delicate look but holds up well and sails through winter!
