Hemerocallis ‘Cranberry Baby’

Common Name:
Daylily 'Cranberry Baby'

Description:
Hemerocallis 'Cranberry Baby' is a compact, deciduous perennial celebrated for its vibrant cranberry-red blooms adorned with ruffled petals and a contrasting green-gold throat. This dwarf daylily forms neat clumps of arching, strap-like green foliage, providing a lush backdrop to its striking flowers. Blooming profusely from early to mid-summer, it often rewards gardeners with a second flush of flowers later in the season. Each bloom, though short-lived, is quickly succeeded by new ones, ensuring a continuous display. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, 'Cranberry Baby' prefers well-drained, fertile soils but is adaptable to a range of conditions, including coastal and drought-prone areas. Its low-maintenance nature and resilience make it an excellent choice for Melbourne gardens, whether planted en masse, used as edging, or featured in containers.
