Daylilies Hemerocallis

Daylilies - Hemerocallis

Daylilies have been cultivated for over 2500 years and are a very low maintenance perennial. They are available in a rainbow of colors , with the exception of blue. Some bloom only once a season, others are repeat bloomers, and a few will bloom all summer long. Some are fragrant, while others will hold a bloom for more than a single day.They are hardy in zones 3-9, and vary in height from 12" -36". In the landscape they prefer rich, well drained soil in full to part sun. Water requirements are not overly agressive as they do quite well on average watering(in ground- about twice a week if no rainfall has occurred). They also attract butterflies and hummingbirds, making your garden come alive with even more color!
