Hemerocallis 'Pardon Me'

Daylilly 'Pardon Me'

Hemerocallis ‘Pardon Me’ is a compact, reblooming perennial valued for its rich red flowers and extended bloom season. Narrow, arching green leaves form a tidy clump in spring, followed by abundant, small deep red blooms with a bright yellow throat beginning in early summer and continuing intermittently into fall, with each flower lasting a day but produced continuously over time. Its compact size and long flowering period make it ideal for edging and containers.
