Look closely at this one to see it’s real beauty. It is an oldie but a goodie. At first it appears to be a bright fire engine red, 6.5 inch bloom with a gold throat but in the right light and when you get closer you will see the magenta veins and halo. This 30 inch dormant, diploid blooms mid-season and into the late season.

This is a “Wow Plant”. It’s got a huge 10 inch bright crimson red flower with a wide golden throat that turns green deep inside. It’s tall at 40 inches but won’t tip over even with a bud count of 25. He starts blooming in the early to mid-season but then reblooms. Classified as a cascading unusual form, it is a semi-evergreen, but seems to fine here in northern Wisc
onsin. Huge and spectacular! This one will have two fans instead of our normal 3 due to its size.

Royalty Surprise is a dormant tetraploid that blooms in the mid to late season. It does continue all the way to frost for me. The plant is 36 inches tall with 6 inch lightly ruffled blooms. The rich royal red flowers are edged with a wide cream border that sets it apart from the other reds, and it has a green throat.

Wow, this plant is truly huge, At 60 inches tall (152 cm) with 8.5 inch blooms (22 cm) it is really impressive. It is brilliant red above a large star shaped yellow throat. Stamens that are also bright red and a light ruffle set it off. A super hardy dormant, tetraploid that blooms mid season also keeps going and goin
g well into fall with a bud count of 23 on 5 nicely branched branches. Fertile both ways; this means lots of fun for those that have the space for giant seedlings.

This miniature daylily was sold to me as Ruby Stella years ago at a auction. A Google search told me that this name is often used for red miniatures when the identity is unknown. In any case it looks and behaves much like Stella de Oro, except that it is Christmas Red. It has the same size flowers, same early bloom, same rebloom, but I think it is a little taller. It looks nice with Cherry Candy as the color is exactly the same as her eye.

This historic daylily is tall at 36 inches, but stands up well in the wind and is a fast grower. It sports masses of red 5 inch flowers that are red and have a very bright yellow mid rib and throat. It is a dormant diploid but is larger than most diploids.

This one is not often seen for sale. I love the color; I’m going to call it “rusty Red” but it has hints of red, orange and gold. It has a fuchsia eye zone over a gold throat and lighter colored midribs. It is a semi-evergreen tetraploid that blooms midseason and is 24 inches tall. The bloom size is listed as 6.5 inches but I think it is more like 5 inches for me.

Liberator is a little different shade of red than most of our red daylilies. It is rosy, almost rusty red and it has an eyezone that I would describe as lipstick red and a lighter rose mid rib over a green throat. It is 23 inches tall and is listed as a 7 inch flower but I believe it is more like 6 inches. The plant is a dormant, diploid that blooms mid-season.
