Dazzling Daylilies

Looking for a perennial that delivers weeks of vibrant color with very little maintenance? Daylilies (Hemerocallis) are among the easiest and most rewarding plants you can grow. While the classic 'Stella D'Oro' remains a garden favorite for its reliable reblooming habit, today's newer cultivars offer larger flowers, richer colors, stronger fragrance, and even better repeat performance.

Incredible Variety

Daylilies are available in nearly every color except true blue and come in an amazing range of sizes. Compact varieties grow just 10-12 inches tall, while towering selections can reach 6 feet. Flower sizes vary from delicate 1.5-inch blooms to spectacular blossoms measuring 9 inches across. Some varieties are lightly scented, while others fill the garden with a sweet fragrance.

Long-Lasting Summer Color

Although each individual bloom lasts just one day, every plant produces multiple flower stalks with dozens of buds that open over several weeks. Many varieties provide 30-40 days of bloom, and repeat-blooming cultivars continue sending up fresh flower stalks throughout the summer. Removing spent flower stalks after blooming encourages the best rebloom.

Tough, Dependable Performers

Daylilies thrive in full sun to partial sun and are exceptionally tolerant of heat and drought once established. They attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, while their flowers are also edible. Hardy to USDA Zone 3, they return year after year with minimal care. Rabbits typically leave them alone, although deer may still browse the foliage and flowers.
