Hemerocallis 'Super Honor'
Blooms open flat, then gently ruffle and recurve as they mature.
'Super Honor' blooms in midsummer, opening huge 6-inch blooms. The flowers open flat, then acquire their elegant ruffles and precise magenta pinstripes as they mature. Very dramatic! The petals are a rich shade of grape-purple with a shadowy violet-magenta halo just above the small lemon-lime throat.
Bred by Dove, this dormant diploid is hardy from one end of the country to the other. It reaches 2 feet high in the sunny garden, growing with great vigor and blooming dependably. Everything about it is outstanding, from the color to the fragrance to the bloom size. Try it alongside yellow or pink Daylilies for a spectacular color show in the sunny border! Zones 3-9.

- Butterflies like a lot of sunlight, so locate your garden in a sunny area.
- If you live in a windy location, plant your butterfly-attracting plants near a building, fence, or hedge to protect them.
- Plant a variety of nectar-rich plants, as well as shrubs and evergreens for shelter.
- Since many butterflies and native flowering plants have co-evolved, try to put in some that are native to your area. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildlife Center provides lists of plants native to states and regions.
- Certain colors are particularly attracting to butterflies – red, yellow, pink, purple, or orange blooms that are clustered or flat-topped, with a short flower tubes are especially attractive to adult butterflies.
- Avoid using pesticides, especially around nectar-producing plants.
- Provide a shallow source of water – try a birdbath with pebbles lining the bowl.
- Place a rock in a sunny spot for butterfly basking and resting.
- Create a "puddling area" by digging a shallow hole filled with compost or manure where rainwater will collect and release essential salts and minerals.
- If you want butterflies to breed in your garden, put in some caterpillar food plants, such as parsley, milkweeds, asters, thistles, violets, clover, grasses, and Queen Anne’s Lace.
- Since butterflies need nectar throughout the entire adult phase of their lives, try to create a design that will allow for a continuous bloom – when one stops blooming, another starts.
