Daylilies date back thousands of years and originated in Asia.
There are two types of Daylilies, Species and Hybrids. Species consist of about a dozen varieties and are not grown in most gardens. Hybrids are the more common and newer cultivars registering over 40,000 varieties. They require 6-7 hours of sun per day. In hot climates, the darker color varieties are best planted where they receive morning sun and afternoon shade.
