Daylily (Hemerocallis x 'Ruby Throat') - Description

Hemerocallis 'Ruby Throat' has dazzling ruby-red blooms that are borne on tall, strong scapes starting from mid-late summer. Five inch flowers are very sunfast (resistant to fading from the sunlight) and have a lovely velvety finish to them. 'Ruby Throat' is another wonderful Designer Daylilytrade; that makes a bold statement in the garden.

The funnel-shaped blooms last for only one day, but new blooms continue for weeks or months from late spring through the summer. The flowers bloom on tall stalks, starting at the top. When used as cut flowers, a single bloom will fade after one day, but the other buds will flower on subsequent days.

Divide the plants, as cultivars do not come true from seed. When they become overcrowded, begin to flower less, or in the early spring or early fall, you can divide.

Beware slugs and snails which will leave the foliage unsightly. Aphids, thrips, spider mites, and hemerocallis gall midge can also cause problems. In areas with high humidity and temperatures above 90°F (32°C), crown rot becomes a major issue. After a cold winter of freezing and thawing, bacterial leaf and stem rot can occur in the spring.
