Comments:  Hemerocallis 'Red Rum' or Daylily is a hardy, pest-resistant, long-blooming  perennial bulb that has won several awards.  Trim flower stems after blooming.  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.
