Notes

'Painted Trillium' daylily (Hemerocallis 'Painted Trillium') 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. The red blooms have a green throat and a sweet scent, and butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit them. It also tolerates drought and salt. It sits low on the menu for rabbits.

Pairs well with Nodding onion, Incrediball Storm Proof smooth hydrangea, and Spotted dead nettle.
