Hemerocallis 'Cleo' – A Historic Red from 1938

'Cleo' is a historic daylily hybridized by Hayward and introduced in 1938. It is an early example of the large-flowered, red hybrids that would later dominate the market. It features medium-sized, star-shaped flowers of a clear, bright red with a yellow throat. It is a vigorous, early to mid-season bloomer that represents an important milestone in daylily breeding history.
