Mighty Chestnut Daylily
Hemerocallis 'Mighty Chestnut'
Rich, warm, and boldly beautiful, Mighty Chestnut Daylily is a standout perennial that brings striking color and effortless elegance to the summer garden. Its large, 5½-inch blooms feature deep chestnut-red petals with a glowing golden-orange throat, creating a dramatic contrast that draws the eye. Each flower lasts just one day, but the plant produces a profusion of blooms over an extended period, delivering weeks of vibrant color.
Strong, arching foliage forms a lush, fountain-like mound that provides attractive structure even when not in bloom. 'Mighty Chestnut' is a midseason rebloomer, offering multiple flushes of color through the summer with minimal care.
Tough, drought-tolerant once established, and highly adaptable, this daylily thrives in a variety of soils and garden settings—from borders and mass plantings to slopes and cottage-style designs. It’s also a magnet for pollinators while being reliably deer-resistant.
Add drama and dependable summer color to your landscape with Mighty Chestnut Daylily—a bold performer with timeless appeal.
