Pardon Me Daylily

If you come home from work to find your daylily blooms already wilting, then the Pardon Me Daylily is absolutely for you. This special variety is night-blooming, with the blossoms opening in the afternoon and being at their best during those long, outdoor evenings of summer – wow, who even thought that existed? As well, the beautiful burgundy blooms burst with fragrance – another trait rare in daylilies. With an extra-long blooming season, and returning again in fall, you will have weeks and weeks to enjoy the beauty of the blooms, deep burgundy red with a glowing yellow throat. Grow it in your flower beds, on slopes and in planter boxes – the options are endless.

• Trumpet blooms of deep burgundy, with a yellow throat
• Blooms in midsummer and again in fall
• At its best in in the afternoon and evening
• Fragrant blooms attract butterflies and humming birds
• Heat and humidity tolerant and easy to grow

Full sun will bring out the blooms on your Pardon Me Daylily, and it does enjoy rich, moist but well-drained soil. Tolerant of drought, heat and humidity, it does perform best, and will most likely rebloom, if you give it a drink while enjoying its beauty. Pests, diseases and deer are all rare problems, and this plant mostly takes care of itself. Remove the flower spikes when the last bloom fades, and cut back the foliage to the ground in fall. This variety doesn’t produce any fall leaves.
