Trahlyta is one of those unique daylilies that can't be mistaken for any other. This Georgia daylily has been a consistent, reliable and hardy grower in my garden. The 6.5" fragrant blooms are a very unusual greyed violet with a dark purple eyezone and a green throat. In the daylily world, Trahlyta received an Award of Merit as well as the 2009 Lenington All American Award, which means it was voted as the best performer over a wide geographic area. Each year one daylily wins this distinction. This is a good list to refer to when purchasing daylilies. I have, or have had many of the daylilies on the list and they have all done well for me in Wisconsin. Here's the link: http://www.daylilies.org/leningtonawards.html
Genetics from Trahlyta have been used extensively and many of the offspring plants retain the distinctive characteristics. When I checked online Trahlyta had 116 registered children, some quite notable such as "Eggplant Escapade," "Grey Witch," "Jerry Hyatt," and "Lindy Twirl" just to name a few.
In Cherokee legend, "Trahlyta" is the name of a woman who is said to have lived in the North Georgia Mountains. She was told to walk along a path, drink from the spring and wish never to grow old. Trahlyta's "fountain of youth" is now known as Porter Springs, Georgia. And how do you pronounce Trahlyta? From what I can find, it's "Trah-lee-ta."
