Growing Zones 3-9
The Fooled Me Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Fooled Me') is a vibrant, hardy perennial beloved for its fiery golden-yellow petals edged in deep red, each bloom flaunting a bright green throat. This reblooming Daylily boasts trumpet-shaped flowers that open in waves from early to mid-summer, with an encore later in the season. Its bold color and long-lasting blooms make it a standout in borders, mass plantings, and mixed beds.
The narrow, arching, grass-like foliage adds texture even when the flowers rest, and it stays lush from spring to frost. Forming dense clumps from its fibrous root system, the Fooled Me Daylily produces sturdy, leafless flower scapes above a mounded base of strap-like leaves.
Each plant reaches 1 to 2 feet tall and wide, creating a neat, rounded habit perfect for edging or filling gaps. Fooled Me’s flowers measure up to 5 inches across, and with good care, blooms keep coming for weeks.
