Notes

'Cherry Cheeks' daylily (Hemerocallis 'Cherry Cheeks') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, loamy, clay, or chalky soil. It draws butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees, and it handles dry spells well. It sits low on the menu for rabbits. Fragrant flowers open in early to late spring and again in early to late summer.

Pairs well with Ruby Giant coneflower, Inca Gold yarrow, and Sedge.
