Bela Lugosi Daylily

This is a Bela Lugosi daylily. Bela Lugosi was a film star who was famous for his role as Count Dracula and this plant has very dark reddish-purple flowers, or as some would say, blood red flowers!

Hemerocallis Bella Lugosi has deep burgundy flowers with lime green throats that bleed into the greenish-gold centers. It stands 29-33 inches high and blooms in mid-summer with large 6 inch flowers with slightly ruffled edges. Although each flower only lasts one day, there are multiple buds on each stalk and several stalks on each plant. The buds open in series, so a single plant will continue to bloom for 2 weeks or more. it is easy to grow and does well in full sun to part shade in moderate soils. Clumps can be divided every few years.
