Hemerocallis 'Little Grapette'
Choose Little Grapette Daylily for a compact purple edge or small mass planting that can take dry, sunny spots; the tradeoff is that deer may sample it and the flowers are seasonal, not constant.
Buy This If
You want compact purple summer flowers.
You need a tough edging perennial.
Your site runs dry between watering.
Skip This If
You need flowers all season nonstop.
Your bed is mostly shade.
You want a large focal-point plant.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B
It gives a clean purple flower show in season, but it is not a large focal-point plant.
Growth Rate
A-
It fills in quickly enough for borders without becoming hard to manage.
Maintenance
A-
It asks for little care beyond cleanup and occasional division when clumps get crowded.
Deer Resistance
C-
Deer readily browse this, so protect it or choose a more deer-resistant plant where pressure is heavy.
Small Space Fit
A
Its compact clumping habit makes it easy to use along edges and in tight perennial beds.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Little Grapette for front edges, mailbox beds, and small sunny groupings where the customer wants color without a fussy perennial.

Customers Usually Ask
Does it need deadheading?
Not required, but removing spent blooms keeps the planting neater.
Will it spread everywhere?
No, it forms clumps rather than running aggressively.
Can it handle dry soil?
Yes, once established, it handles dry-to-average conditions better than many flowering perennials.
Why Choose Perennials for Your Garden?
Return Year After Year: Perennials come back each season, reducing replanting costs while increasing garden maturity
Extended Seasonal Interest: With proper selection, you can enjoy continuous blooms from spring through fall.
Low Long-Term Maintenance: Once established, many perennials require minimal upkeep and become more resilient over time.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!

They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
