It's useful for edging, mass planting on a bank, or filling a sunny strip that's a pain to mow. It handles clay soil and tolerates black walnut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompanion Plants:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red daylilies look rich beside \u003cem\u003eSanguisorba 'Pink Tanna'\u003c\/em\u003e, whose pink flower spikes run from June to September at 60 to 90 cm. \u003cem\u003eCampanula 'Blue Magic'®\u003c\/em\u003e adds a low edge of blue flowers from June to September. \u003cem\u003eEchinacea 'Mellow Yellows'\u003c\/em\u003e brings yellow coneflowers from June to October on 80 cm stems. Give this group full sun or part sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant in full sun to part sun in average, well-drained soil. Flowering is lighter in shadier spots. Water through the first season, and during dry weather in early summer to help it set buds. Remove spent flowers and cut stems to the base after blooming. Because it's a semi-evergreen type, the leaves can look rough after winter. Trim away damaged foliage in early spring. Divide every four or five years in spring or early fall. Daylilies are toxic to cats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory:\u003c\/strong\u003e 'Red Rum' was registered with the American Hemerocallis Society (now the American Daylily Society) in 1974 as a diploid, semi-evergreen, midseason daylily. The genus name \u003cem\u003eHemerocallis\u003c\/em\u003e comes from Greek words for \"day\" and \"beauty\", since each flower lasts a single day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinal Thoughts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant it at the front of a sunny bed and skip the hose once it's settled. No ice, no garnish.
