The “Daylily” Is By Far One Of The Most Popular Sun-Loving Perennials Available. It Is Most Revered For Its Reliablity, Ease Of Growth And Beauty. The Early-Mid-Summer Blooming “Custard Candy” Bears Smaller Pale Butter Yellow Blooms With Burgundy, Eyezones And Light Green Throats. It Is A Reblooming Tetraploid. They Are Day Blooming And Arise From Neat Clumps Of Green Strap-Like Leaves That Go Fully Dormant In Winter.
All Daylilies Have Six Tepals (A Term For The Flower’s Showy Petal-Like Sepals). The Blooms Are Usually Held Above The Foliage On Branched Leafless Stems. Each Bloom Opens For One Day And Is Usually Followed By Another Bud Opening On The Stem. Some Flowers Open At Dawn And Close At Dusk, Some Are Open For More Than Sixteen Hours And A Few Open In The Late Afternoon And Stay Open Until Dawn. Bloom Time Is Variable Depending On The Species, But Most Are Summer Flowering.
Day Lilies Grow Best In Fertile Soil With Average Drainage. They Prefer Full To Partial Sun. After Plants Bloom, It Is Wise To Shear Back Their Foliage To Allow For A Fresh Flush Of Growth.
