If you want months of color from a compact, easygoing perennial, Hemerocallis 'Double Pardon Me' is a great fit. This daylily (Daylily 'Double Pardon Me') produces richly red, fully double, fragrant blooms and can rebloom, giving you repeat color through the growing season. Its tidy habit makes it easy to tuck into smaller beds, along walkways, and at the front of borders.
Plant it where you can enjoy the flowers up close and give it full sun to part shade. In hotter climates, a bit of afternoon shade can help blooms last longer, while full sun encourages the best flowering. You will get a mature clump about 15-20 inches tall, with a spread around 18-24 inches as it fills in over time.
Daylilies are tolerant of many soils, but you will have the best results in well-drained ground amended with organic matter. Water regularly during establishment, then provide consistent moisture during dry spells for the strongest rebloom. A light layer of mulch helps keep the root zone evenly moist and reduces heaving during winter freeze-thaw cycles.
For a neat look and to encourage additional blooms, remove spent flower stems and tidy old foliage as needed. Divide the clump every few years if it becomes crowded or flowering slows; replant divisions at the same depth and water well until growth resumes. This selection is also noted for attracting pollinators such as butterflies and hummingbirds and can be a helpful choice where rabbits browse.
