Daylily

A daylily is beautiful for one day and that's where the name came from. There are many stalks and buds on each plant so you can have many flowers in a clump. They normally bloom in the spring and fall but since we’ve had such cool weather this year they are all blooming now. If you are afraid to plant flowers in the yard I’d suggest you start with a daylily. They are easy to grow and are drought tolerant. Remember that most day lilies grow best in full sun. After a year or two you can start separating them. Many people are familiar with the orange or yellow color but there are a variety of colors to choose from. Here are only a few that I have in my yard. Enjoy.
