Hemerocallis

Daylilies used to be either yellow or orange, but today's hybrids cover a spectrum from pale yellow through orange to pink, red and dark mahogany, as well as blended colors, bi-colors and eyed types. There are so many varieties, blooming at different times, that it's possible to have daylilies blooming from early spring until frost.
Daylilies of one variety or another grow well in every part of the United States and southern Canada. Daylilies grow in almost any soil, but do best in well-drained soil enriched with compost or leaf mold. They flower more freely in full sun, but will tolerate light shade, and in fact, in hot areas, afternoon shade is recommended. Plant daylilies 1 1/2 to 2 feet apart. Clumps should be divided for propagation in spring or fall or when they become overcrowded, usually after 4 to 6 years of blooming.
