Daylily 'Autumn Red'
Hemerocallis 'Autumn Red'Autumn Red is a vibrant daylily variety celebrated for its deep, fiery red blooms that make a bold statement in any garden. Each flower features ruffled petals and a striking central eye, creating contrast and drama.

Its arching, grass-like foliage adds texture and movement, complementing both bold and soft-colored plantings.

Autumn Red thrives in a wide range of climates and soil types, tolerating heat, humidity, and occasional drought once established. It works beautifully in mixed borders, mass plantings, foundation beds, or as a striking focal point in perennial gardens. With its dependable reblooming and strong garden performance, Autumn Red is perfect for gardeners seeking a combination of bold color, resilience, and ease of care.
Care Instructions
Planting
Plant in full sun for optimal flower production. Space 18–24 inches apart in well-drained, fertile soil enriched with compost.
Watering
Water deeply once per week during active growth. Established plants tolerate dry conditions but benefit from consistent moisture for best flowering.
Pruning
Remove spent blooms to encourage reblooming. Cut foliage back to ground level in late fall or early spring before new growth emerges.
Pest Control
Monitor for thrips, aphids, and daylily rust. Remove damaged foliage and apply horticultural oil or insecticidal soap if needed.
Soil Tips
Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with moderate organic matter. Slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0) promotes healthy growth and abundant blooms.
