Round blooms are a lovely lavender with white midrib and a wide yellow and green throat. Masses of blooms are held on short scapes above attractive medium to light green foliage. Fragrant.
I have had Lavender Vista growing in my garden for SEVERAL years now, and for the life of me I can’t figure out how this daylily ever got on the “All American” list. It has performed very poorly in my northern VT garden, with no more then one scape every year and only a couple of buds. But FINALLY, in 2019, after threatening to dig her up and move her to my backyard, Lavender Vista FINALLY came into her own with several scapes and attractive blooms. Who knows if I’ll ever see that again… But I sure hope so!
I am not sure whether this one performs better in cooler weather or not . It continues to grow, but hasn’t bloomed yet. It is in the sun at least half the day. Not sure if it needs more or less sun. If anyone has any ideas, let me know.
I like Lavender Vista a lot more than I thought I would since I am a big fan of bright colors in flowers. This one, though, has a bluish lavender color that is different from anything else I have, with that yellowish green throat for contrast. The growth has been good, and I have been happy with the number of blooms.
Although pretty, I’ve been a little disappointed this first year. The lavendar is dull and the size is smaller and just rather average looking. I’m hopeful it will improve with age.
One of the first to bloom im my garden! Nice color, love the white midribs, and the throat just glows a pertty green when it catches the sun! Much prettier than the picture.
This is a beauty! It has a large lavender flower with a beautiful green throat. It is much prettier than in the picture. It looks simular to a larger version of Little Wart.

It’s pretty simple: most of you can grow any of the daylilies we sell. If you live in an area with a sustained cold period like we do in East Tennessee, you can grow all the varieties. However, If you live in an area that doesn’t get freezing weather in the winter, dormant varieties won’t work for you; you need to choose evergreen or semi-evergreen varieties.
We normally include bonus plants equal to about 20% of your order. And these aren’t “leftover” plants, or “whatever we’ve got lying around.” These are the same huge, healthy plants we sell. Just leave the decision up to us— we’ll pick something we know you’ll love!
