Hemerocallis 'Night Embers'

Daylily 'Night Embers'

Hemerocallis ‘Night Embers’ is a bold perennial valued for its deep, velvety burgundy-red blooms and dramatic presence. Arching, strap-like green leaves form a dense clump in spring, followed by abundant, large flowers in mid-summer in rich red to burgundy tones with a contrasting yellow throat, with each bloom lasting a day but produced over several weeks. Its dark color adds depth and contrast to sunny borders.
