Description

Frankly Scarlet is a winner in the Landscape Category and represents a breakthrough in red daylily breeding. While most red daylily blooms lose their luster as the sun beats down on them, these scarlet blooms shine in the heat. Muted in the morning, the velvety, scarlet, 4" blooms build color intensity throughout the afternoon and are still vibrant beyond 6:00 in the evening. Dense, 14-25" tall foliage makes an excellent landscape statement and remains a lush dark green throughout the summer. Rebloom adds value to this brilliant gem. Gardeners in zone 9-10 can expect blooms well past Thanksgiving. Hardy USDA Zones4-10. PPAF. Propagation prohibited.
