With Happy Ever Appster Red Hot Daylily (Hemerocallis hybrid), you get the typically pretty cupped daylily flowers and grassy foliage, but in a variety for which “daylily” is a misnomer. This one reblooms, for continuous cherry red color from mid-summer through early fall in zones 4 through 9. The flowers have a green and yellow center, to make the big, colorful, and ruffled blooms a sure favorite in the landscape or a featured container.
These daylilies are perennial and easy to grow in nearly any soil type. The foliage reaches about 18 to 24 inches around after reappearing each spring, and gives rise to flower stalks reaching nearly 28 inches high. With its color and size, Happy Ever Appster can add to any landscape as a border grouping, mass planting, or thriller plant for a container. Added to their human appeal is the flowers’ ability to attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
Happy Ever Appster Red Hot Daylily Care
Plant these bright daylilies where they get part to mostly sun, for almost 6 hours of sunlight a day. They can grow in a little more shade, but might not flower as heavily as those with more sun. Place them in any soil type, adding some compost if necessary to help sandy soil retain some water. The best time to plant them is early spring, but you also can plant in early fall, as long as there are 30 days remaining before the expected first frost.
Happy Ever Appster Red Hot Daylily is salt tolerant and resists rabbit damage. To ensure continuous reblooming all season, deadhead faded flowers. Just remove the spent blooms every few days by pinching the petals off. Give them average water and add some organic mulch around their base in hotter zones to help retain cool moisture. At the end of the growing season, cut the leaves down to a few inches above the ground and mulch with straw if living in a colder zone of their growing range.
Happy Ever Appster Red Hot Daylily Spacing
Space your daylilies about 18 to 24 inches apart, measuring from the center of each plant’s foliage clump. For a tight border, space them at the lower measurement.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
