Little Business Daylily
Hemerocallis ‘Little Business’
Hemerocallis 'Little Business' is a charming, compact daylily prized for its profusion of small, rich red flowers with a contrasting yellow-green throat. This dwarf, semi-evergreen perennial forms a tidy clump of strap-like, bright green, grassy foliage that remains attractive throughout the growing season. From early to mid-summer, it produces an abundance of slender, smooth scapes (flower stems) bearing small (2.5-3 inch), lily-shaped blooms in a deep, velvety ruby-red to wine-red hue with a bright, yellow-green throat, creating a colorful, long-lasting display that attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. Exceptionally easy to grow, adaptable to a wide range of conditions, drought-tolerant once established, and deer resistant, it is an outstanding choice for borders, rock gardens, containers, mass plantings, edging, and small-space gardens.
