The flaming blaze orange of this 'ditch' daylily is the quintessential daylily that no garden should be without. The throat of her vibrant petals is scarved in a burgundy and yellow that seems to bleed into the clementine-colored petals. Against the vivid spring-green leaves, the effect is stunning. An early bloomer , this daylily will also perform nicely in semi-shade, though she will have more foliage than flowers. If you seek a sunrise in your garden, you'll want to plant some of these native daylilies. Things to Note Among the absolute most hardy (thus the common name, 'Ditch') daylilies, she will also survive drought conditions though her flowers will be stunted and fewer without regular watering. This variety is dormant and remains without foliage for some period of time that is variable by growing region. This was introduced into this country in the 1700s. Some consider it 'native'. Gardener Tips We love using Blue Spruce Stonecrop , with her lemon-yellow blossoms, Coreopsis Nana , with her sunny blooms, and 'Orange' as a trio together in a bed. The orange and yellow tones create a canvas of warm, happy tones and the foliage textures are breathtaking.
