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'.
Acanthus mollis
Thrives in the same partial sun, moderate water conditions as Daylily
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.
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.
These three thrive alongside Daylily — and alongside each other.
