Jamaica Sunrise Daylily is a long-blooming perennial with grass-like deep green foliage. Clusters of orange-red ruffled flowers with yellow throats bloom in late spring and can rebloom into fall if deadheaded immediately after flowering. The flowers attract butterflies and pollinators. Best bloom in deep rich well-drained soils. Drought and salt tolerant once established. Jamaica Sunrise is resistant to Daylily rust.
