Growing 2-4’ tall and wide, this daylily has medium-green strap-like foliage and clusters of bright-orange blooms. Hemerocallis are extremely low-maintenance and adaptable, seemingly unaware that poor soil, sporadic water, severe cold, seacoast or desert conditions might otherwise imperil more fragile plants. Perhaps this accounts for their popularity; they are among the most requested plants Boething Treeland Farms grows. These are low shrubs, at home in manicured and natural gardens alike. Their long sword-shaped bright green leaves grow in a tidy clump and look fabulous on slopes, in borders, with stones or mulch under a tall canopy of trees, near pools and in containers. Tuberous root systems benefit from occasional dividing best done in early spring or fall. While they tolerate abuse, those who wish to optimize performance will make sure that they are mulched (particularly in cold winter climates), planted in well-drained soil, and watered regularly. Partial shade is a good idea in the hottest areas. Native to Eurasia, Sunset Western Garden Book suggests they do well in zones 1-24. Hemerocallis have been hybridized for years resulting in the development of a wild array of colored flowers, wavy petals, and scent in addition to foliage color. On a cultural note, Hemerocallis derives its name from the Greek words for day: “hemera” and beautiful: “kalos”.
