Comments:  Hemerocallis 'Bela Lugosi' or Daylily is free-blooming and compliments well with other perennials.  This perennial plant has a mound forming habit and is heat, humidity, drought and cold tolerant. It is a low maintenance plant and is easy to grow.  To bring out the best colors in the daylily, light colors have to be in full sun (at least 6 hours) while the dark colors have to be in part shade during the hottest part of the day so their colors would not fade.
