The ‘Super Red Eye‘ daylily (Hemerocallis) is a striking perennial known for its sharp contrast between bright, rich petals (often creamy or yellow-gold) and a vivid, prominent cranberry-red eyezone, highlighted by a glowing green throat. It typically reaches 24 to 36 inches in height and produces large 5- to 6-inch flowers. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Key Growing & Care Guidelines
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun (at least 6 hours daily) to produce the most vibrant colors and abundant blooms, though it tolerates light partial shade. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
- Soil & Water: Thrives in fertile, well-draining soil but is highly adaptable. It requires about 1 inch of water per week; while drought-tolerant once established, it performs best when the soil is kept evenly moist. [1, 2, 3]
- Hardiness: Extremely hardy, generally thriving in USDA Hardiness Zones 3 through 9 (withstanding temperatures down to about -40 °C). [1]
- Maintenance: Cut back the dry or yellow foliage after the bloom season to tidy up the plant and help it conserve energy for the next year. [1, 2]
