Hemerocallis ‘Breathless Beauty’
Description:
A tall cultivar with velvety purple red flowers, with a green throat which was registered in 1966 by Clara Mae Pittard, a gifted hybridiser from Louisiana. Influenced by W. B. MacMillan, she was renowned for creating smaller flowered hybrids of striking colour and form. Pittard registered 92 cultivars and claimed several awards. Her contributions earned her the Bertrand Farr Silver Medal in 1977, honouring a lifetime work hybridising daylilies.
