Product Description
Hemerocallis 'Another Brick in the Wall' (25) BR Plants
Common Name: Daylily
A reblooming red with consistent recurved blooms. Flowers are large for a true rebloomer at 3½" across and eye-catching with a deep fire engine red color. 'Blazing Returns' is earlier to bloom than 'Pardon Me' and does so on taller scapes with flowers that are over ½" larger.
Daylilies can survive many harsh conditions that other plants cannot including: polluted city environments, slopes, poor and dry soils, near pavement that is salted in winter, and under Black Walnut trees (not affected by juglone).
- Midseason Bloomer.
- Rebloomer, producing a second set of flowers.
- Dormant
- Tetraploid
Daylilies are some of the easiest perennials to grow and are a good choice for any gardener, from the beginner to the professional. These are tough, adaptable plants that will grow in any soil, from normal to slightly wet to dry. Older varieties are able to bloom if planted in partial shade, but most of the newer introductions need full sun for best performance. Likewise, older varieties tend to spread more rapidly than the newer hybrids.
Plants should be deadheaded for cosmetic purposes, but in most cases this will not extend the bloom time.

Hemerocallis 'Another Brick in the Wall' is a stunning daylily cultivar known for its vibrant, rouge-red flowers with a striking gold throat. Here is a rundown of its key features:
Appearance:
- Color: The flowers are a rich, fiery red, often described as "rouge red," with a bright gold throat. This creates a dramatic contrast that makes the flower stand out. The red is a deep, saturated shade, reminiscent of a fine wine or a ruby gemstone, while the gold throat adds a touch of sunshine and warmth.
- Flower Form: Large, single flowers with wide petals and ruffled edges. The blooms are notably large for a daylily of their height, and the ruffled edges add a touch of elegance and sophistication. The petals are slightly recurved, giving the flower a more open and inviting appearance.
- Size: Each flower measures about 5 inches wide (12 cm). This makes them a substantial presence in the garden, and they are sure to attract attention.
- Height: Typically grows to a height of 18-22 inches (45-55 cm). This is a good mid-border height, as it allows the flowers to be seen without being too tall and overwhelming other plants.
Growing Information:
- Bloom Time: Early to midseason bloomer, with a rebloom period in late summer to early fall. This extended bloom time means you get to enjoy the flowers for a long period, often several weeks in total. The rebloom is usually not as profuse as the initial bloom, but it still provides a welcome burst of color later in the season.
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun (at least 6 hours per day) but can tolerate some light shade. Full sun will encourage the most profuse blooming, but in very hot climates, some afternoon shade may be beneficial.
- Soil: Adaptable to various soil types but performs best in well-drained soil with average moisture. Daylilies are relatively low-maintenance plants, but they will thrive in soil that is rich in organic matter and drains well.
- Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry spells, but avoid overwatering. Daylilies are drought-tolerant once established, but they will appreciate regular watering during hot, dry weather.
- Hardiness: Hardy in USDA zones 3-9, making it suitable for a wide range of climates. This means that it can withstand a wide range of temperatures and growing conditions.
Other Notable Features:
- Vigorous Growth: It is known for its strong stems that hold the flowers upright, and it is a vigorous grower. This means that it will quickly establish itself in your garden and produce a profusion of flowers.
- Foliage: Attractive, grass-like foliage that remains green throughout the season. The foliage is a nice backdrop for the flowers, and it also provides some interest in the garden when the plant is not in bloom.
Uses in the Garden:
- Middle of the Border: Its height makes it a good choice for the middle of the border, where it can provide a splash of color and interest.
- Containers: It can also be grown in containers, making it a good choice for small gardens or patios.
- Mass Plantings: Creates a stunning display when planted in groups, where the vibrant red flowers can create a bold statement.
Additional Tips:
- Deadhead spent flowers to encourage reblooming and maintain a tidy appearance. This will also prevent the plant from self-seeding, which can lead to unwanted seedlings.
- Divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor. This will also help to prevent the plant from becoming overcrowded and less productive.
Other Details
The most important part of the plant is its root system. Healthy roots are the foundation of a healthy, vibrant plant. The type of plug container used is based on the specific needs of the plants. Perennials offered as bare root traditionally perform better when planted as bare root.Planted in a specialized mix, potted plants have well established root systems. Top growth stage will vary depending on the current life cycle and time of year when shipped. In Winter and early Spring dormant plants may be shipped. Dormant plants may be planted right away, even before the last frost date.
Most bare root varieties are field grown for at least one season, though Hemerocallis and Hosta are grown for two seasons. The bulk of the soil is removed during the harvesting process and the tops of most varieties are trimmed back to the crown. They are graded, packed in shredded aspen or sphagnum moss and stored in freezers until ready to be shipped.

Plant information and care is provided in the Overview section, Plant Genus Page and general information is provided in the Planting Care & Guides. Additional questions can be asked on each Plant page.
Plant Spacing: Using the maximum mature spread or width of a plant to guide spacing, ensures space to grow to full size. To fill an area sooner, plant them closer together. Just remember, future thinning or transplanting may be needed.
Water: Keep a close eye on newly planted perennials, especially throughout the first growing year. Most early plant loss is due to too much or too little water!
