Daylily plant named ‘Red Hot Returns’

Abstract

A new and distinct Hemerocallis cultivar of the semi-evergreen type named ‘Red Hot Returns’ is provided. The new cultivar is very floriferous and forms attractive bright cherry red blossoms over an extended period of time that commonly begins during late May to early June and commonly ends during early to mid-October in Hardiness Zone No. 7. The new plant readily forms fans and readily forms a number of scapes per fan. The new cultivar is particularly well suited for growing as distinctive colorful ornamentation in the landscape.
