<i>Hemerocallis</i> 'Grey Witch' | Grey Witch Daylily
DESCRIPTION
Hemerocallis 'Grey Witch' is a distinctive daylily known for its unique, soft greyish-lavender flowers.

The overall effect is both elegant and intriguing, making it a standout choice for adding a touch of subtle sophistication to garden spaces.
