leaves have changed colour: purple to green
Comments (17)Short follow up lest someone ever finds themselves in a similar situation: I recently came across my same tree in a plant shop, bought it, and put it on the terrace in my second home. After about 2 weeks, I noticed it was growing plenty of lovely PURPLE leaves... so I promptly returned home and put the other, indoor, tree, outdoors... It has lost alot of leaves in the meantime, and looks drab and sad, BUT... the leaves that ARE growing are lovely and PURPLE... So it was a light issue after all, as some has suggested from the very beginning. I guess that no matter how much light OUR eyes see, it is not necessarily enough for the plant.

Comments (1)'Would you serve these to your friends at a dinner party?' Honestly, no, I wouldn't and I am a very parsimonious cook. Not because of the colour per se but because the heads are overmature and on the verge of flowering. So yes, either someone waited too long to harvest or it is quite a while since they were picked. They don't look at all fresh. Cook a bit for yourself and you will probably taste the problem....See MoreDaylily color of "purple" and future rebloom!
Comments (4)I just ventured into the Bearded Iris world to try and get a few true purples and blues. I pray I don't get addicted to them too. But if you want those two colors Iris are your best bet..........You have a better chance of getting the purple color in a rose as the color pink and crimson, of which there are species roses with that color, can produce some near purples. Not in my area that I've tried, but people on the west coast for instance show pictures of roses, and swear that they are the color purple. However,with daylilies the species colors are yellow and orange. Even the red in the orange species daylilies is a bricky red, not a crimson or true red as in roses. However, daylilies have now been produced in very near pink, so anything is possible.
