Notes
'Burlesque' daylily (Hemerocallis 'Burlesque') is a perennial for borders and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average soil. Its maize blooms have burgundy eyes and a sweet scent. Rabbits tend to pass it by. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the flowers, and the plant tolerates drought and salt.
Pairs well with Blonde Ambition blue grama, Shrub rose, and Cheerfulness daffodil.
