Daylily Quite The Bite

Daylily ‘Quite the Bite’

Daylily ‘Quite the Bite’ is a bold tetraploid introduction by Lambertson from 2013, admired for its dramatic eye pattern, heavily textured edging, and dependable rebloom. This cultivar combines strong color contrast with toothy detail, creating a dynamic bloom that commands attention in the garden.

The large 6.25-inch blooms open in medium purple tones across both petals and sepals. A prominent blue-purple eye and matching edge add depth and richness, while the outer edge is finished with a crinkly, toothy band in yellow-green that adds texture and visual excitement. A clean green throat anchors the center of the bloom and enhances color clarity.

Plants reach approximately 27 inches tall and feature semi-evergreen foliage, offering adaptability across a wide range of climates. Blooming mid to mid-late season with reliable rebloom, ‘Quite the Bite’ produces around 20 buds on 3 branches, providing a steady and extended floral display.

A striking daylily ideal for borders, focal plantings, and collections emphasizing toothy edges, layered color, and repeat performance.
