ARCTIC LACE is a beautiful cream white with a lacy golden yellow edge. The flowers not only demonstrate fimbriated ruffling, but also serration and fringing suggestive of fine lace. A gorgeous flower and well admired in the garden. ARCTIC LACE is the beginning of Pat Stamile's reinvigorated exploration into the white daylily and away from the cream yellows and pastels that have come to dominate most "white" daylilies. This brilliant diamond dusted white offsets the warm colors of the daylily palette. For folks living in areas which experience cool mornings, ARCTIC LACE will open perfectly flat with mornings down to 48 degrees. A beacon of white in the garden and fertile both ways with 6-way branching and 40 to 45 buds.
