Orange Velvet

This beauty has been around for decades but remains highly esteemed. Although diploid, huge fans multiply quickly and put up strong scapes with big, substantial blooms of creamsicle orange. Crepe-and-corduroy-textured blooms are fully diamond-dusted and fade gorgeously in the sun, for a 3-D, bi-tone effect. In cold winters, behaves like a dormant daylily. Pod and pollen fertile.
