Description

These summer-blooming perennials form clumps with large, grass-like leaves. Its showy red flowers, resembling lilies, are borne in clusters on stems held well above the foliage. 4" blooms build color intensity throughout the day. Blue green, dense, 24" tall foliage makes an excellent landscape statement. Scarlet blooms shine in the heat. Daylilies prefer full sun and regular watering. Provide well draining, rich soil. Cut spent flowers to encourage reblooming.

Water Saving Tip:

Give your sprinkler system a checkup when turning it on in the spring and occasionally during the summer.

Trim branches that are obstructing spray patterns and raise sprinklers that are too low for spray to clear the grass.
