Hemerocallis 'Nile Crane' (Nile Crane Daylily) - Another great hybrid daylily introduced by Munson in 1978. This tetraploid is evergreen and the rich green foliage matures to a height of 26 inches. It forms silver-lilac to bluish-lavender cream-throated blossoms with highlights of cream-flesh and chartreuse which start in midseason and repeat. Plant in full sun and provide regular watering for optimum results. Tolerates partial shade. Divide mature clumps every 3 to 5 years and fertilize in late spring for added vigor. Hemerocallis comes from two Greek words meaning ''beauty'' and ''day,'' referring to the fact that each flower lasts only a day. We grew this plant from 1994 to 2009.
This information about Hemerocallis 'Nile Crane' displayed is based on research conducted in our horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also will relate observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments that we receive from others and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
