Description
A color oddity in the garden that is sure to captivate attention, the 'Chicago Blackout' features beautiful and large star-shaped flowers with black-flushed deep red petals surrounding a yellow-green throat during summer. A tetraploid with twice the number of chromosomes than the species, Chicago Blackout has larger and thicker leaves and flowers, stronger flower scapes, and more intense coloration and increased vigor.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a clump 24 to 30 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide, the Chicago Blackout Daylily is ideal for use as an accent or in groupings, stunning mass plantings, or as a border along paths and walkways in landscape borders. Also nice as an accent or centerpiece in mixed container gardens. A fine addition to daylily gardens, perennial gardens, fragrance gardens and red or black theme gardens.
Spacing: 18 inches for mass plantings or as a solid border edger; 36 inches or more for space between plants

Growing Preferences
When planted right and in the right spot, Daylilies are exceptionally easy to grow. Though they will perform well in a wide range of soil types and conditions, they prefer a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility. Full to mostly sun is preferred however plants will tolerate some lightly filtered sun or shade. We suggest at least 5 hours of direct sunlight for best flowering. Daylilies don't require deadheading but the removal of spent flower scapes (stems) might encourage rebloom. When established, daylilies are moderately drought tolerant.
