Daylily

Scientific Name: Hemerocallis sp.

Category: Flowers and Foliages

Description:
Daylilies are perennials widely used in landscape plantings. The name daylily refers to the fact that the individual blooms last only for a day or two, but the abundance of blooms ensures the gardener will enjoy flowers for most of the summer. Daylilies have long, straplike foliage. Blooms may have a single or double row of petals in yellow, gold, peach, pink, orange, lavender, maroon or deep purple. The plant is propagated by rhizomes.
