Double Night Embers Daylily

Double Night Embers is a daylily with large, dark red double flowers edged in a lighter color. Its 5-inch blooms appear early to midseason and may rebloom; plants reach about 30 inches tall, spread 18–24 inches, and bear fragrant flowers. [Horsford Gardens and Nursery](https://horsfordnursery.com/hemerocallis-double-night-embers/) lists the selection for Zone 3 and sun exposure. ## Garden Placement Use its dark flowers as contrast among lighter or gold-toned perennials in a sunny border or mixed bed. Leave about 18–24 inches for spread. Daylilies generally flower best with around six hours of direct sun; in hot climates, some afternoon shade can help darker flowers retain color. [Oakes Daylilies](https://oakesdaylilies.com/collections/rebloomers/products/night-embers-daylily) provides these general daylily siting notes. ## Soil and Water Daylilies grow in varied soils but prefer good drainage. Water new plantings during establishment and dry weather, especially as roots develop. ## Maintenance When an established clump becomes crowded and flowering declines, divide it into a few good-sized sections with several fans apiece. Small divisions may take a season or two to flower again.
