Daylily Rooten Tooten Red $19
Klehm, unregistered but more recently grown under some renaming by various growers and companies. Originally recorded as 18″, 24″ even 26″ tall but factually the scapes are 30″-32″ tall once established. The blooms are 5″ and are lighter than our picture–more of a fire engine red as the sun rises and the color fades a bit. Dormant. Tetraploid. Fragrant. A Mid-Season grower with bountiful blooms once established. Looks great when tall purple and blue companion plants are proximate to them. They even provide a nice accent to single-flowered hollyhocks. We have a row in our lower propagation field by the hosta display garden and when the RTR is at its peak, it’s a solid color. When the peak is reached, the color turns off like a light switch has been thrown and we miss the display.
