Spring is here!
The daylily is a member of the lily family Liliaceae and the genus Hemerocallis. Daylilies are native to the countries of Japan, Siberia, Korea, China, and Eurasia. In the early 1930s, hybridizers in the United States and England began to work with the wild daylilies to produce different colors and flower shapes. Today, there is a wide range of colors, including near white, cream, creamy yellow, lemon-yellow, golden-yellow, orange, apricot, pink, rose, scarlet, wine red, red-violet, purple, and many combinations of those. Modern daylilies display a complex variety of special features such as eyes, watermarks, halos, picotee edges, and diamond dusting. Click here to see our catalog. Daylilies are "the perfect perennial" because:
- They will grow and thrive in a wide range of climates (depending on the cultivar)
- They are delightfully (although, unfortunately, not completely) pest free and disease free, and thus a good choice for any gardener who doesn't want to have to fuss over his or her flowers.
- They are generally easy to grow and notoriously resistant to dying, even at the hands of brown-thumbers. They are drought-resistant and undemanding.
- There are many different colors, shapes, and sizes available
