Living in 100-degree summers means my daylilies will take a real color-beating during July and August. Can anyone recommend colorfast deep (clear but darker), richly colored purples that don't seem to fade, or turn some shade of red, or go black? This is for a garden that is not heavily treated, and not shaded in any way (not even afternoons).

I'm open to all types and seasons, and any that can beat the July/Aug heat get extra :thumbsup:'s ... The ATP photo database is such a wonderful help, but not all cultivars have a full range of pictures - thank goodness for all those who do post realistic pictures of how cultivars perform naturally. :} Oh, and, I'm on a budget ... so tried-and-true older daylilies are very welcome!
