Hemerocallis
Hemerocallis, commonly known as daylilies, are a genus of perennial plants in the family Asphodelaceae. They are native to Eurasia, but have been cultivated worldwide for their showy flowers and hardiness. There are over 80,000 registered cultivars of daylilies, with flowers in a wide range of colors, shapes, and sizes.
Hemerocallis flowers
Daylilies are typically clump-forming plants with long, strap-like leaves. The flowers are produced on scapes that can be up to several feet tall. Each flower has six tepals, which are three outer sepals and three inner petals. The tepals can be fused at the base to form a trumpet shape, or they can be separate and star-shaped.

Daylilies are relatively low-maintenance plants. They prefer full sun but can tolerate some shade. They also prefer well-drained soil, but they can be tolerant of drought and heat. Daylilies should be fertilized in the spring with a balanced fertilizer.
Daylilies are a popular choice for gardeners because of their showy flowers, easy care, and long blooming season. They can be used in mass plantings, borders, or as specimen plants. Daylilies are also attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds.
Here are some tips for growing and caring for daylilies:
- Plant daylilies in a sunny location with well-drained soil.
- Amend the soil with compost or manure before planting.
- Water daylilies regularly, especially during the first growing season.
- Fertilize daylilies in the spring with a balanced fertilizer.
- Remove any spent blooms and leaves to encourage new growth.
- Divide daylilies every 3-5 years to keep them healthy and vigorous.
With proper care, daylilies will thrive for many years to come.
