Daylilies

What is a daylily?

The scientific name for daylily is Hemerocallis, most recently considered to belong in the plant family Hemerocallidaceae. Previously, many older works placed daylilies in the Lily family, Liliaceae. Notice that we prefer to spell the word "daylily" as one word. Many dictionaries spell it as two words. The word Hemerocallis is derived from two Greek words meaning "beauty" and "day," referring to the fact that each flower lasts only one day. To make up for this, there are many flower buds on each daylily flower stalk, and many stalks in each clump of plants, so, the flowering period of a clump is usually several weeks long. And, many cultivars have more than one flowering period.

Why is the daylily the perfect perennial?

The daylily is sometimes referred to as the perfect perennial because it is:

Available in a rainbow of colors and a variety of shapes and sizes.
Able to survive with very little care in a wide range of climates.
Suitable for all types of landscapes.
Drought resistant and almost disease and insect free.
Adaptable to various soil and light conditions.
Known to bloom from late spring until autumn.

* 'Featuring the Gold' -- (Gary Colby x Leaving Me Breathless)

Sev. 7”fl. 30” sc. EM 20 buds. This is the flower some of you may know under its garden name “Mister Green Genes” because of its massive gold to chartreuse green edge. The mahogany rose flowers with a lighter watermark are a real shocker with their huge edge which can take up to half of the petal surface. These very large flowers are presented on tall scapes. As you might imagine, Featuring the Gold has been one of my most heavily used parents, easily setting pods and producing some of the most awesome seedlings in my garden. this Daylily is one of my favourites and was hybrized by Ted Petit.
