Hemerocallis (Daylily)
Daylily / Hemerocallis
Daylily comes from two words, beauty and day in Greek. This is because each bloom lasts one day. The flowering time of each clump on a daylily is several weeks though as there are many blooms together on the stocks. Daylilies are the “perfect perennial”. They will go in any landscape, can have a range of care, and come in a variety of colors. Daylilies like a minimum of six hours of sun a day. Darker daylily varieties to fine with more shade as their dark leaves soak up more sun and do not tolerate all that heat as well.
