The ‘Hotlanta’ daylily (Hemerocallis) is a highly-rated, fragrant, semi-evergreen tetraploid introduced by hybridizer William R. Waldrop in 2014. It is widely celebrated for its striking red blooms, large deeper red eye, and contrasting bright green throat. [1, 2]
Key Characteristics
Growing Guidelines
- Light: Best planted in full sun to partial shade (requires at least 4–6 hours of direct sunlight).
- Soil & Water: Prefers well-drained, organic-rich soil, though it is quite drought-tolerant once established.
- Care: Deadhead spent blooms for better aesthetic appeal and cut scapes down to the base after flowering finishes. [1, 2, 3]
