Hemerocallis 'Little Chipper Red'

Little Chipper Red Daylily

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.

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.
