Features of Daylillies

Body

A very large group of plants that offer sizes from 12 inches to 4 feet tall in many colors and bloom periods. A versatile perennial that can fit into most any type of garden situation. Very adaptable and very useful in the landscape. Some offer fragrant flowers.

Care

  • Will grow in moist well drained soil in a sun to partial shade situation.
  • The repeat blooming types benefit from division every 2-3 years as it is the new rhizomes that produce new flowers.
  • Selecting and planting the repeat types also allows for extended bloom in the garden.
  • Daylilies are heavy feeders. Deadhead to achieve re-bloom.
