Deep Crimson Flowers, Effortless Summer Colour
A true classic daylily, Hemerocallis ‘Crimson Pirate’ brings rich, velvety crimson-red blooms to the garden through summer. It forms a tidy clump of arching, grassy foliage and sends up strong stems of trumpet-shaped flowers that open in succession for weeks.
Each flower lasts a day, but don’t let that put you off — the plant produces plenty of buds, so you get a long, reliable display with very little maintenance.
Why you’ll love it
- Bold crimson-red flowers with a timeless look
- Hardy, reliable perennial – returns year after year
- Low maintenance – ideal for busy gardens
- Great border plant – neat clumps that mix beautifully with other perennials
- Pollinator-friendly – a lovely summer stop-off for bees
Where to plant
Daylilies thrive in sun to part shade in well-drained soil. Perfect for:
- Mixed borders and cottage gardens
- Planting in drifts for strong summer colour
- Edging paths and driveways for an easy, repeatable look
Caragh Garden Notebook (care made simple)
- Light: Sun to part shade (best flowering in sun)
