Notes
'Crimson Pirate' daylily (Hemerocallis 'Crimson Pirate') 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. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the fragrant blooms. It also tolerates drought and salt, so it suits tough spots. Rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Caradonna sage, Moonshine yarrow, and Lucifer montbretia.
