The bloom on 'Intricate Matrix' is a lovely pale cream with a hint of yellow. Deep at the base of the throat the flower is an emerald green colour that merges into a full lemon yellow throat extending one third of the way out on the flower. The yellow throat is surrounded by a dark violet band that is only slightly echoed as a thin line on the sepals. The violet band is notched at the midribs and the darker violet veins in the band contrast with the lighter violet of the band to give it an overall stained glass effect. The creamy pale yellow petals and sepals exhibit gently ruffled edges. There are some daylilies that look similar, however, some of those are not hardy in our climate. This one is a hardy dormant plant. In addition, it has 4-way branching on the scapes, and the scapes have an average bud count of 22 which gives it a long season of bloom in the garden. If you are looking for a hardy, paler coloured daylily with a long period of bloom, this one fills that role very well. 'Dragon Flight' x 'El Desperado' $16 Double Fan
