About this species:

Daylily (Hemerocallis) is a hardy, herbaceous perennial, known for its vibrant, trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom for just one day, hence its name. Originally from Asia, these plants have adapted so well we often think of them as natives. This plant thrives in various climates and is a popular choice for gardens due to its adaptability and low maintenance. Those with bright orange blossoms, often called “ditch lilies,” grow tall, arching stems above clumps of strap-like green leaves. 


There are thousands of beautiful daylilies to choose from, blooming at different times of the season.
