Hemerocallis 'Red Volunteer'

Red Volunteer Daylily

Hemerocallis ‘Red Volunteer’ is a bold perennial valued for its rich, velvety red blooms and strong garden presence. Arching, strap-like green leaves form a dense clump in spring, followed by abundant, large deep red flowers with a contrasting golden-yellow throat in mid-summer, with each bloom lasting a day but produced over several weeks. Its intense color makes it a standout in sunny borders.
