Organic Hemerocallis 'Frans Hals'

Red and Yellow Daylily 'Frans Hals' (Hemerocallis)

Hemerocallis 'Frans Hals' is a true classic among daylilies. Its striking yellow and red flowers instantly add color to the garden and have proven to be a reliable choice for all kinds of borders over many years.

Like all daylilies, each flower blooms for just one day. That may sound brief, but in practice it goes largely unnoticed. The plant continuously produces new buds, resulting in weeks of abundant flowering from June through August. Thanks to its open flowers, bees and other beneficial insects can easily find it.

The flowers are generously sized—about 10 to 12 centimeters across—and contrast beautifully with the narrow, green foliage. Reaching a height of around 60 to 70 centimeters, 'Frans Hals' fits perfectly in the front or middle of a border.

Planting in the ground
