What Are Daylily Plants?
Daylilies (Hemerocallis) are hardy perennial plants known for their vibrant, trumpet-shaped flowers. Each bloom lasts one day, but a single plant can produce many flowers over the blooming period. They are prized for their adaptability and ability to grow well in various climates and soil conditions.
Is Growing Daylilies Difficult?
No, growing daylilies is easy. They are resilient, low-maintenance plants that thrive in various conditions, including poor soils and drought. They're also disease-resistant and can tolerate heat and humidity.
How Do I Grow Daylily Plants?
To grow daylilies, plant them in well-drained soil with full to partial sunlight. Space the plants about 18 to 24 inches apart. Water them regularly, especially during the first growing season, but once established, they require minimal care. Divide clumps every 3-5 years to encourage vigorous growth.
