Hemerocallis 'Red Razzmatazz'
Common Name: Daylily
This is the perfect daylily to plant in large groups to create a beautiful swathe of red color in the landscape. It has some of the best foliage of any red daylily variety, creating big, strong, vigorous plants with well-branched and heavily budded scapes. The flowers are clear fire engine red with a yellow throat and pie crust ruffled tepals. The color is very sunfast for a red daylily.
Daylilies can survive many harsh conditions that other plants cannot including: polluted city environments, slopes, poor and dry soils, near pavement that is salted in winter, and under Black Walnut trees (not affected by juglone).
Characteristics (Compared to Other Daylilies)
- Late Midseason Bloomer, blooming in late July.
- Rebloomer, producing a second set of flowers.
- Dormant foliage.
- Tetraploid with 44 chromosomes, twice as many as Diploids. Tetraploids tend to be bigger, stronger plants.
