About This Daylily

Blood, Sweat and Tears' is  named to reference the years of hard work by  breeder Karol Emmerich to find a truly exceptional red daylily. Massive 15 cm raspberry red flowers are complemented by a wide rosy pink eye that leads to a yellow throat. A thin white margin edges each petal. Flowers are held on proportionate scapes, just above the foliage. Although it is evergreen, there are no hardiness concerns with this red daylily as it was bred and selected in Minnesota.
