Daylily Dragon's Eye, Hemerocallis 'Dragon's Eye', has a name that says it all! Hemerocallis 'Dragon's Eye' has a bold red eye zone which extends halfway onto the petals to create a dramatic look.  The petals of the 4 flowers are exquisitely ruffled with a thin rose-red edge. To top it off, the bloom power of this hybrid is spectacular.  Each scape produces an average of 24 or more buds for a continuous show of color in midsummer. This variety is also known for excellent rebloom in late summer, which extends the bloom season.  One of the best eyed daylilies on the market today!  Daylilies are some of the easiest plants to grow and are a good choice for any gardener.  They thrive in full sun or light shade and tolerate many types of soil.  In areas that receive less than 6 hours of sun during the day, your daylilies will probably produce fewer and smaller blooms, and the foliage may not be as robust; daylilies can survive many harsh conditions that other plants cannot. Use for stand alone plantings, edging, in borders or in mixed containers and tubs.  Planted together in large numbers, they quickly crowd out weeds and make a carefree and colorful ground cover. Because it blooms all summer, has gorgeous color, and an attractive, clumping foliage, ‘Chicago Orchid’ is a pleasure to have in any garden! * Blooming power * Dramatic and exquisite
