Popular Daylilies – Hemerocallis

Daylilies are loved by professional and novice gardeners alike since the are amazingly low maintenance – almost no maintenance is required. Daylilies produce large, colorful flowers that will return year after year with minimal care—even in drought conditions.

Daylilies are name appropriately as each flower lasts just one day. Fortunately, they are prolific bloomers with a mature plant having 4 to 6 scapes (leafless stems) and each scape consisting of 12 to 15 buds. This gives the Daylily a long bloom time. You can extend the bloom time even further by choosing a combination of early, mid-season, late blossoming varieties, and repeat bloomers to have daylilies in flower from late throughout the season.

They are incredibly easy to grow, are virtually disease and pest free and will survive in even the poorest of conditions. Of course, with a little ‘tlc’, these flowers will thrive and perform at their best. And they are attractive to pollinators. Plant en masse for incredible visual impact.

Listed below are popular Daylilies and not all are necessarily available at this time.
