Hemerocallis ‘Pardon Me’ is a captivating reblooming daylily that demands attention with its vibrant, cranberry-red flowers and its ability to bloom repeatedly throughout the summer. This compact and vigorous perennial is a favorite among gardeners for its long-lasting color and easy-care nature.

‘Pardon Me’ is a miniature daylily that offers big impact with its profusion of small, but vibrant, cranberry-red flowers. The 2 ¾-inch blooms have a delicate, ruffled edge and a contrasting yellow-green throat, adding a touch of brightness. This daylily is a rebloomer, meaning it produces multiple flushes of flowers throughout the summer, extending its season of interest. The foliage is a healthy green, forming a compact clump that complements the vibrant flowers.
