    So striking in the garden, Hemerocallis 'Zoro's Blade' does not disappoint! It's blooms, of bright cardinal red, beckon the passerby to stop and relish in their mysterious beauty! The large-leafed fans increase rapidly, and it is a workhorse in the garden! Hemerocallis 'Zoro's Blade' is one of my favorite bright red daylilies, and it performs with ease in my zone 6a garden!
