耐寒多年生植物 - Daylily

Daylily (Hemerocallis)



PEAK SEASON: early summer to frost

FAVORITE SELECTIONS: hybrids have more color selection.

• “Stellade Oro" and "Happy Returns" - dwarf daylilies, grow 1 to 2 feet tall, everblooming and tidy.
• "Prairie Blue" - lavender with blue eyes and green throats, dwarf.
• "Little Grapette" - tiny purple flowers and yellow throats.
• "Darling Deception" - heavily ruffled lavender flowers with deep purple eyes and edges and yellow throats.
  

GARDEN COMPANIONS: Daylilies look best in a sunny flower bed all to themselves. But they look good in informal flower gardens, too, where they hide the dying foliage of spring bulbs and add a welcome dash or bright color in lightly shaded areas.

Yellow daylilies complement blue-flowered plants such as

• Veronica "Sunny Border Blue"
• Salvia nemorosa "May Night"
• Campanula "Blue Chips"
• Geranium "Johnson's Blue"

When: Spring is best. Can be plant in all three growing seasons.

Where: full sun or light shade. great for mass plating. once established they are a beautiful way to stabilize a slope.

How: space 1.5 to 3 feet apart depending on the variety. The splants spread, so give them plenty of room.

TLC： every year in early spring, dig in a controlled-release or complete fertilizer or an organic equivalent, such as fish emulsion or compost. Apply it agin 4 to 6 weeks later. Divide plants when clumps become crowded or begin to bloom less, every 4 to 6 years, in spring or right after they finish flowering.
