HEMEROCALLIS (Daylilies) Full sun to part shade Z 2 - 9
Dayliles have been a garden favourite since Victorian days and are one of the most valued and dependable of all garden perennials. All prefer full sun or part shade and are very long lived. By choosing varieties that bloom at different times you can extend the flowering season from May through late September. The growth in the diversity of bloom size and colour has been fascinating with the collector now being able to choose from over 40,000 varieties. Daylilies are suitable for planting in perennial and shrub borders, massing as a groundcover or for planting in large containers. Several are also very fragrant.
