About this plant
Hemerocallis 'Little Chipper Red' is a charming daylily known for its vibrant red blooms with a yellow throat. Blooming from mid to late summer, this variety produces smaller, trumpet-shaped flowers with slightly ruffled edges, creating a lively and eye-catching display in the garden. The rich red petals contrast beautifully with the bright yellow throat, giving the plant a cheerful and bold appearance.
Originating from hybridization efforts in the United States, 'Little Chipper Red' was bred for its compact size and consistent blooming. It's an excellent choice for small garden spaces, borders, or containers, where its vivid red flowers bring color and attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

Design tip
Summer flowers carry the middle of the season, so place it where the bed needs color once spring bulbs fade. Because it is easy about light, use it to carry a planting from a sunny end of the bed into the shadier side.
Where to see it
This plant can be seen in the perennial border at the Bellevue Botanical Garden.
