Hemerocallis 'Pardon Me'

Pardon Me Daylily

Hemerocallis 'Pardon Me' is a charming daylily known for its delicate, reddish-pink flowers with a striking deep burgundy eye zone and a yellow-green throat. Blooming from early to mid-summer, it produces an abundance of dainty, trumpet-shaped blooms with slightly ruffled edges that create a soft, yet vibrant display in the garden.

Originating from hybridization efforts in the United States, 'Pardon Me' was developed for its compact form and abundant, colorful blooms.

Design tip

The long summer show pairs well with plants that peak earlier, keeping one area interesting for months. Because it is easy about light, use it to carry a planting from a sunny end of the bed into the shadier side.
