Hemerocallis hybrid Autumn Red

Autumn Red Daylilly

Hemerocallis ‘Autumn Red’ is a late-season perennial valued for its rich red blooms and extended garden color. Arching, strap-like green leaves form a dense clump in spring, followed by abundant, medium to large deep red flowers with a warm yellow throat in late summer into early fall, with each bloom lasting a day but produced over several weeks. Its later bloom time makes it a strong choice for extending the daylily season.
