There aren’t many plants that the gardeners can call proof, but the daylily comes pretty close. Tolerant of the drought, tough soils, even partial shade, these beauties’ blooms last only one day. However, there are always more buds to follow the ones that fade. A lot of gardeners gave up on daylilies for the last few years because their characteristic yellow blooms and strappy leaves just became a little overused. For instance, ‘Stella de Oro’ was a variety that rebloomed. It was compact, easy to grow and planted in every garden and street side patch for about 20 years. It is a known fact that daylilies come in every color except blue, some of them are fragrant, some have huge blooms, and some grow 4 feet tall. They can be used planted in mass for great effect, as a ground cover, as a focal point in the garden, or in the containers.

If the gardener is going to grow delightful daylilies he needs to consider the various factors:

• Most of the plants prefer full sun to get the best blooms, although the darker varieties will like some afternoon shade for the best color.

• Choose an early, mid, and late blooming variety to make sure they always have blooms.

• Plant with the crown of the plant 1-2 cm under the soil. They prefer a soil rich in organic matter, but will tolerate poor soils as well.

• Water regularly the first season to get the root system established, then as needed.

• Fertilize in the spring with a low nitrogen fertilizer.

• Deadhead the faded blooms as often as possible for the most blooms on each plant. Strive for twice a week if you can. Some varieties are “self cleaning” which means you don’t have to deadhead.

The last thing about daylilies is that they need to be divided every 2-5 years to keep them healthy and growing vigorously. It is rather easy to do, and provides you with lots of new, free plants. Speaking about the top choices, we could recommend «Happy Returns». It is probably the best yellow flowered replacement for «Stella de Oro», as it starts blooming in June and finishes in October. «Wine berry Candy» is a pink (or purple) selection that blooms mid to late, and is a perfect 60 cm high. A daylily that looks like red velvet is «Red Volunteer». Midseason, likes afternoon shade where it`s hot.

Finally, «Indian Giver» is a deep purple bloom with a crisp white edge. Mid season blooming, grows to 75 cm tall. As with darker varieties, prefers some afternoon shade for best color. It enables us to draw a conclusion that daylilies are the flowers with a great variety, which are suitable for any garden.
