Daylily

Daylilies are versatile and very easy to maintain…and they offer a huge diversity of bloom color. For these reasons, daylilies are one of the most popular perennials available. Several varieties such as Happy Returns and Stella D’Oro, are rebloomers and bloom all summer.  Others bloom, take a break then rebloom (South Seas for example). Some varieties feature fragrant blooms. Flowers rise up on leafless stems from the lower growing long strappy foliage. Although each bloom only lasts a day, there are many superior cultivars that have several buds on each stem, extending the bloom time. Deadheading will encourage additional blooms.

• Sun to Part Sun
• Plant size and bloom color are variety specific
• Heat and drought tolerant once established
• Low maintenance
• Reblooming varieties available

May 22, 2026 Notes from our perennial grower, Emma … because it’s hard to get all the information you may want from just a name! 

All of the daylilies are starting to put on buds and bloom for us! Here is a quick list of what we grew and are carrying this year. We planted most of these in August of last year so they have 9 months of growth and very established plants. I would not recommend dividing them at this time though.
