A man approaching his 90's showed me daylilies growing in his garden that his mother had raised - a real testament to the longevity of the daylily plant.
Daylily varieties can begin their bloom period in early spring and go through into autumn.
They are able to survive with very little care in a wide range of climates, are suitable for all types of landscapes, and are adaptable to various soil and light conditions. At the same time, they do not thrive on total neglect and can tolerate up to a half a day of shade. Daylilies are drought resistant and almost disease and insect free. The conditions that generate better health and life of a plant begin by making the soil right. In ideal conditions the natural occurring elements found in soil will still be present.
