Hemerocallis Everydaylily Red Ribs - Daylily

The Daylily or Hemerocallis 'Everydaylily Red Ribs' is part of a series of daylilies recently selected in the United States for their exceptional floribundity and compact habit. They bloom continuously from late spring until the first frost, producing up to 400 flowers in a mature season. In this variety of 'Red Ribs', the flowers are richly coloured, displaying a dark purple-red tone, more or less variegated with yellow, around a golden throat. This perennial, so easy to grow and generous, will undoubtedly find its place in the garden or patio. Planted en masse, alone or combined with other miniature daylilies, it creates beautiful borders!

According to classifications, the genus Hemerocallis belongs to the family Liliaceae or Hemerocallidaceae. They are perennial and hardy plants with deciduous foliage in winter or sometimes semi-evergreen. Like all its sisters in the Everydaylily series, the variety Red Ribs' is derived from the excellent border daylily 'Stella de Oro'. It grows quickly, forming a reasonably dense clump reaching approximately 35-40 cm (14-16in) in height, with a relative spread of 50 cm: daylilies tend to spread a bit when they like the soil. The flowers measure 7-8 cm (3in) in diameter. The petals are thick and slightly crinkled, recurved, and undulated somewhat at the edges. Each flower lasts only a day, but the flowering renews continuously over a long period between June and October. Each petal, crossed by a yellow midline, is more or less bordered or maculated with yellow on a dark red background. The foliage is linear and deciduous, disappearing in winter. Daylilies are plants with short rhizomes and fleshy roots that tolerate dry soils but are more opulent and floriferous in fresh and fertile soil. 

Very easy to grow, daylilies thrive equally well in shade or sun. Some can be invasive, so don't hesitate to divide clumps every four or five years, preferably in autumn, after flowering. Daylilies are often called "the perfect perennial plant" because of their vibrant colours, ability to tolerate any environment, and beautiful exuberance, which blends well with other perennials. Plant them in generous clumps in your borders and flower beds. All summer bulb flowers can be planted alongside daylilies. 'Everydaylily Red Ribs' pairs well with bellflowers, catmints, penstemons, asters, chamomiles, or panicled phlox. On a balcony or patio, it will be stunning for months. The flowers are edible: they brighten up salads and decorate desserts.
