be temperature sensitive, and if they are, the purple of a brown bloom
may fade leaving a more brownish hue. Please look at the
polytepal pic of 'Hooded Cobra', this was taken in a shady garden
setting and shows the deeper chocolate colors that will mature to
lighter brown in full sun or heat. Intensely fertile both ways. more information on my black and brown daylilies here.
