Hemerocallis autumn red

Hemerocallis 'Autumn Red' is a striking and robust daylily that will add rich, warm colour to your garden. This perennial is known for its large, trumpet-shaped flowers in a deep reddish-brown hue, which bloom from June to August. The intense colour of the flowers contrasts beautifully with the elongated, grassy foliage, which provides a lush green background for the vibrant flowers.

At around 60-70 cm tall, Hemerocallis 'Autumn Red' is an excellent choice for the centre or back of borders, where it adds a dramatic colour accent. The flowers open in the morning and stay radiant all day, giving way to new flowers the next day. Although each individual flower blooms for only one day, the abundance of buds ensures continuous flowering throughout the season.

Before planting, it is advisable to soak the roots in water for a few hours (3-6 hours) to promote establishment. Then plant the roots shallowly, about 1-2 cm deep, in well-drained, fertile soil in a sunny to lightly shaded location. Hemerocallis 'Autumn Red' is drought-tolerant once well established and requires little care. Regular removal of spent flowers promotes a neat appearance and can extend the flowering period.

With its deep, warm flower colours, long flowering period and easy care, Hemerocallis 'Autumn Red' is a fantastic addition to any garden. It brings not only colour and vibrancy, but also reliability and beauty, season after season.
