Plant Type: Daylilies

This is a perfect daylily to plant in large groups to create a beautiful swathe of red color in the landscape. It has some of the best foliage of any red daylily variety, creating big, strong, vigorous plants with well branched and heavily budded scapes. The flowers are clear fire engine red with a yellow throat and pie crust ruffled tepals. The color is very sunfast for a red daylily. Rebloomer!

Growing & Maintenance Tips:

Daylilies are some of the easiest perennials to grow and are a good choice for any gardener, from the beginner to the professional. These are tough, adaptable plants that grow in any soil, from normal to slightly wet to dry. Older varieties are able to bloom if planted in partial shade, but most of the newer introductions need full sun for best performance. Likewise, older varieties tend to spread more rapidly than the newer hybrids. Daylilies can be divided every 3-4 years by digging up the entire clump and dividing it into smaller pieces with a minimum of 3 fans each. This can be done in either spring or fall. Plants can be deadheaded for cosmetic purposes, but in most cases this will not extend the bloom time.
