Clarity Of Purpose

As a tall, early, brilliant near-white, Clarity Of Purpose is is a beacon in the garden, drawing attention from quite a distance. It usually blooms a week after [[Stella De Oro]], about the same time [[Happy Returns]] blooms, making it appropriate for a June perennial border. Not from rebloom lines, and not a rebloomer for me. | As a tall, early, brilliant near-white, Clarity Of Purpose is is a beacon in the garden, drawing attention from quite a distance.

An unusual feature of Clarity Of Purpose is that it seems to be aphid resistant. One year aphids in my garden were so bad that many daylilies were losing buds and scapes and the shed skins of aphids were all over the plants. That year, Clarity Of Purpose was one of the few daylilies that showed no aphid damage to the buds or scapes. Nobody seems to be working on insect resistance: this might be a helpful place to start. | An unusual feature of Clarity Of Purpose is that it seems to be aphid resistant.
