Notes

'Ruffled Ruby' daylily (Hemerocallis 'Ruffled Ruby') is a perennial for borders, containers, 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 moist soil of most types. Rabbits tend to pass it by. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the flowers, which are fragrant. Plants handle drought and salt, so they suit tough spots.

Pairs well with Caradonna sage, Moonshine yarrow, and Lady's mantle.
