Day Lily

No information available at this time...

They are clump-forming with strap-shaped pale green leaves. The trumpet-shaped lily-like flowers which last for one day appear in the morning and wither overnight, though in a few species the flowers appear over-night. There are thousands of cultivars many of which have fragrant flowers.

Uses

Border plants, alpine plants, rockery plants, cottage garden plants.

Culture

These plants prefer a rich soil in full sun to part shade. Generally, those with darker coloured flowers require some shade but brighter flowering types need more sun.  They do not like to be disturbed once planted. After flowering, stems should be cut back to ground level.

Propagation

This is best done by dividing plants in autumn through to early spring.
