| Description | A favored perennial admired for its abundant raspberry red flowers on tall stems. Blooms early to mid-season with repeat bloom. Clumps of green, slender, grass-like foliage are moderately deer resistant. An easy-care choice for borders or containers. Semi-evergreen in mild winter areas. |

| Design Ideas | This miniature Daylily is a carefree perennial that fits into almost any garden, no matter how small. Spot into perennial borders as individuals or small clusters. Mass into a sea of color that functions much like groundcover. These little fellows are great in containers, pots or troughs and window boxes. With its strap-leafed form and flowers on long wand-like stems, Daylily offers dramatic relief between dwarf shrubs. |

| Care Instructions | Thrives in organically rich loam; adapts to most soil types, provided they are well-drained. Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency, once established. Remove old foliage and spent blooms for a neat appearance and to promote continued bloom. |
| History | This small-flowered, tetraploid cultivar was awarded the AHS Annie T. Giles award for best small-flowered daylily (1975). |
