Hemerocallis hybrid Frans Hals

Frans Hals Daylilly

Hemerocallis ‘Frans Hals’ is a bold, bi-colored perennial valued for its striking red and yellow blooms. Arching, strap-like green leaves form a dense clump in spring, followed by abundant, medium-sized flowers in mid-summer featuring contrasting mahogany-red petals and bright golden-yellow sepals, creating a dramatic two-tone effect, with each bloom lasting a day but produced over several weeks. Its vivid color combination makes it a standout in sunny borders.
