Daylily 'Red Volunteer'

There are many pluses with this daylily; any one of them making a purchase worth your $$. First is the show-stopping brilliant red! The...Read More blooms each year are no less than 6 inches across and usually bigger; the blooms last a long time before dropping. The plant grows big and lush and doesn't mind sun or part shade. Mine gets regular watering in fast draining soil with plenty of nutritious mulch. Last year I didn't get around to deadheading the plant and when I finally did, I discovered numerous little starts coming out of the leaf joint on the stem. I read not to expect flowers from these starts for a few years and to grow them for two years in pots in a greenhouse. Too much ado for this lazy gardener so I put them in pots for a couple of months then stuck them in the ground late fall. I didn't expect much as we had a record cold winter but those little starts have burst forth to life this spring and have sent up a couple of scapes!! Now that's vigor! Waiting to see how big the blooms are. It doesn't matter though, as I've already been surprised and rewarded with their production. GREAT plant!!

I planted my red volunteer late last fall. It is blooming well and it is stunning. I haven,t seen such a beautiful red.
