Hemerocallis is a genus of herbaceous perennial flowering plants in the family Asphodelaceae, native to Asia. The plants are clump-forming perennials growing from rhizomes, with fibrous or fibrous-tuberous root systems, arching strap-like basal leaves, and large showy flowers that typically last only one day, hence the common name 'daylily'.
Water: Medium · Height: 120 cm · Soil: Suitable for light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils; can grow in heavy clay soil; prefers mildly acid, neutral and basic (mildly alkaline) soils; tolerates dry or moist soil.
Daylily is usually grown from division rather than seed. Lift an established clump and split it into sections, each with roots and a growing point, then replant.
