Overview
A very wide variety of Hemerocallis hybrids exist today that have spectacular curl back flowers exposing the erect stamens and a contrasting colour in the centre.
Hemerocallis flowers are very showy and often fragrant but only last for one day.
However the same stem may produce new blooms day after day.
They have coarse grassy foliage and flowers range from 8-15cms being both singles and doubles.
Hemerocallis are very popular as florists flowers.
Soil: Almost any soil conditions but prefers well drained.
Allow plenty of space around them as they compete strongly for space an nutrients.
Maintenance: Divide every two or three years otherwise they are very easy to keep.
Diseases: Two spotted mite, thrips, snals and slugs
