The plant reaches a height of about 55–60 cm, and the flower diameter is approximately 15 cm. Cream-purple flowers with frilled cream petals and dark cherry eyes, accented by a lime-green throat, create an eye-catching decorative accent in the garden. Blooming occurs in August and lasts about 25 days, providing a bright and long-lasting decoration for the site. This daylily is undemanding and adapts well to various growing conditions. It prefers sunny spots and can grow on lawns, flower beds, and in gardens from spring to autumn. The plant is frost-hardy, withstands winter temperatures without cover, but additional protection with straw, peat, conifer branches, or sawdust under film is recommended in the absence of snow. For successful growth, the daylily requires soil loosening and watering during hot weather, while transplanting and dividing bushes is best done in spring. For planting the 'Crystal' daylily, prepare a spacious hole with a mound in the center, place the plant on it, and spread the roots down and around. The soil should be fertile; for heavy clay soils, it is useful to add sand and peat, while for poor podzolic soils – compost, sand, and peat. The daylily is well-suited for cut flowers, allowing its blooms to be used for creating bouquets and decorative compositions. Due to its beauty, resilience, and ease of care, this variety will become a wonderful decoration for any garden.
