Comments:  Hemerocallis 'Dragon's Eye' or Daylily is a scene stealer bi-colored rebloomer.  This eye-catching perennial bears 24 plus buds on every stem. It is mound forming and is heat, humidity, drought and cold tolerant.  To bring out the best colors in this daylily, since the blooms are dark colored, they have to be in part shade during the hottest part of the day so their colors would not fade.
