Double Pardon Me Hemerocallis

Double Pardon Me Hemerocallis is a new twist on an old favorite! These fragrant, cranberry-red flowers have a yellow watermark and bright green throat, and can have almost triple the petals of its namesake. Flowers begin to bloom in midsummer and continue with a second set of blooms late in the summer. Daylilies are tough perennials that can survive less than ideal conditions including poor, dry soil, slopes, and planting under Black Walnut trees. Double Pardon Me ships as a bare root. We like growing from bare roots because they establish quickly, become twice the size of a potted plant in the first season, and eliminate the need for plastic pots (a win for the environment).

Common Names: day lilies, daylily, day lily

Hemerocallis Companion Plants: Crocosmia, Geranium, Grasses, Nepeta

Double Pardon Me Hemerocallis Plant Care: Besides apply water if the plant starts looking droopy (which is practically never), there is not much else this plant needs. The flower stalks can be cut back after the plant is done blooming for the season. Dividing daylilies is not necessary unless you don't want them spreading. Division can be done in early fall when the foliage is being cut back to the ground.
