Hemerocallis 'Strutters Ball'

Strutter's Ball Daylil

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