Hemerocallis ‘Voodoo Dancer’

Description

“Wow! Wow! Wow!” That’s really all we can say about this black daylily. Except, we must try to describe it for you! Hemerocallis ‘Voodoo Dancer’ has to be one of the most spectacularly coloured, and most unusual of daylilies, that you will ever see. At just around 60cm high, throughout summer this compact plant produces an abundance of fragrant double flowers. Each bloom of Hemerocallis ‘Voodoo Dancer’ has layers of slightly ruffled petals that are a blend of blood-red to purple-black. The centre (or throat) of each flower is deep golden yellow.

One of the first daylilies bred to offer such dramatic, dark flowers, Hemerocallis ‘Voodoo Dancer’ is a tetraploid variety, meaning that it has larger and thicker leaves and flowers, stronger flower stalks, more intense colouring, and increased vigour. It is ideal for creating stunning displays at the front of beds and borders, or even in patio containers. Plant your near-black ‘Voodoo Dancer’ daylilies in full sun or part-shade. Most garden soils will do, in this case even if they are prone to waterlogging.
