Hemerocallis 'Rumble Seat Romance'

Rumbleseat Romance Daylily

Hemerocallis ‘Rumble Seat Romance’ is a striking perennial valued for its large, bi-colored blooms and strong garden presence. Arching, strap-like green leaves form a dense clump in spring, followed by abundant, large flowers in mid-summer in soft rose-pink tones accented by a deeper red eye zone and a warm yellow throat, often with lightly ruffled edges, with each bloom lasting a day but produced over several weeks. Its bold color combination makes it a standout in sunny borders.
