Daylily 'Red Precious"

Daylily ‘Red Precious’
Daylilies (Hemerocallis sp.) are hardy, fast-growing evergreen perennials prized for their dramatic summer displays. Their vibrant, trumpet-shaped flowers create striking contrast in borders, mass plantings, and containers.

Tough, versatile, and low-maintenance, daylilies suit both beginner and experienced gardeners. Their neat, grassy foliage stays attractive year-round, while blooms appear over a long season. Ideal for borders, mass plantings, or erosion control, they add effortless colour and structure to any garden.

Although each bloom lasts only a day, well-established plants flower continuously through summer, providing long-lasting colour with minimal care. Thriving in full sun to semi-shade and tolerant of short dry spells once established, they’re perfectly suited to South African gardens.
