PLANT DESCRIPTIONS & FACTS

Hemerocallis 'Cranberry Baby'

Overall Description

Cranberry Baby has small to medium sizes blooms that are full & compact in shape. Bloom color is a very dark rose color with a slight darkening towards the throat / center. Foliage is a good green color and very grass-like, making a good contrast against the rose colored flowers. Blooms start in early summer, and extend all the way through till very early fall in most climates. This variety is an excellent re-bloomer, meaning that it is known to produce several "waves" of blooms throughout the summer months, rather then just one heavy bloom period in early summer. Re-blooming can be further increased & encouraged through the removal of old, expired blooms & stalks ( scapes ).
Foliage is deciduous / dormant in all climates. We actually suggest trimming, or "mowing" the foliage back to a height of about 5 or 6 inches at the end of the fall season. This way, the foliage can have a fresh, new start when spring rolls around, and will look its absolute best all season long.
Cranberry Baby is one of the more recent additions to our Daylily category, and is perfect for a smaller sized border or foreground plantings. Also looks outstanding in mass plantings. Very snug, compact clumps of foliage.

Fertilization / Feeding: For maximum health & hardiness, we highly recommend POOPeas for use with all of our daylily varieties. However, either water soluble ( Miracle Gro, or equivalent ), or granular fertilizers ( Holly Tone is excellent ) are also good options. Most any granular fertilizers with a 6-12-12, or 10-10-10 ratio are also acceptable. Best to fertilize in early spring, and again in mid fall - avoid feeding standard chemical fertilizers during hot summer months, and directly after transplanting. POOPeas may be used at anytime.
