Daylily expert Arthur Kroll calls ‘Desert Flame’ “the most beautiful in its color class, a terrific daylily”. It is an excellent garden performer too, producing its beautifully ruffled, recurved flowers of excellent substance with a lime green throat and orange stamens first in midseason and then again later in fall. This is a taller daylily with very strong, well-budded and branched scapes and foliage that stays nice looking all season long.
