Naughty Red Daylily

Hemerocallis ‘Naughty Red’ bears large dark-red flowers edged with ruffled yellow, with repeat bloom reported through summer and into early autumn. The American Hemerocallis Society records 6-inch flowers on 24-inch scapes, a midseason bloom, and evergreen foliage; a cultivar listing also reports USDA Zones 3–9 and a mature spread of 18–24 inches.

The scapes rise above strap-shaped foliage, and the repeat bloom helps extend its display after the first flush. Butterflies and hummingbirds are reported visitors. ## Growing Conditions Choose a sunny site with average, well-drained soil. Water through establishment and give a deep soak during prolonged dry spells; the source listing describes it as drought tolerant once established. The cultivar is evergreen, although foliage appearance can vary with climate and winter conditions. ## Maintenance Remove faded individual flowers for a tidy display, then cut the scape down after its final buds have opened. Divide an older, crowded clump in spring or fall. Remove damaged or untidy leaves as needed, taking care not to cut healthy foliage prematurely.
