Daylily 'Lake of Fire' (Hemerocallis 'Rainbow Rhythm® 'Lake of Fire') brings bold midsummer color to beds, borders, and mixed plantings with reliable clumps of arching, strap-like foliage and showy ruffled flowers. Like many daylilies, each bloom is short-lived, but established plants produce a steady succession of flowers over the season.
Give it a site with full sun to part shade and average, well-drained soil. In hotter climates, a bit of afternoon shade can help keep blooms looking their best. Water regularly after planting; once established, daylilies are generally adaptable, but they perform best with consistent moisture during active growth and flowering.
Use this plant to edge a walkway, fill gaps in perennial borders, or repeat in drifts for a strong summer display. The upright flower scapes rise above the foliage, adding height and structure without needing staking in typical garden conditions.
For care, remove spent flower stems after bloom and tidy foliage as needed. Divide clumps every few years if you want to rejuvenate growth or increase your planting. This cultivar typically matures around 12-36 inches tall, making it easy to pair with lower mounding perennials and ornamental grasses.
