Remarks

Green sword-like foliage with striking bell or funnel shaped flowers that last only a day. Hundreds of different hybrids and cultivars in a wide range of colors, some early, mid and late summer blooming. Daylilies do better in medium, well-amended soil and a sunny location that enjoys afternoon shade, but they are versatile. Daylily leaves may exhibit alkalinity in clay soil. If this is the case, amend well with organic matter.

Use in Garden

Sunny mixed beds and borders. Cottage gardens.

Maintenance

Clumps can be divided every third year or so; separate the rhizomes in the fall and transplant. Top dress with 1 inch of compost in the spring and fall.
