All you need are five quarters that aren't worn much. When you put them on your scale, they should weigh one ounce. If your scale is off, you could be paying too much or too little postage. Since they're perennials, daylilies regenerate on their own, saving the time it would take to replant them each year. Because daylilies require no maintenance, fertilizer or chemicals to control pests, they are as cost-effective as they are beautiful, McCoy said.
Daylilies are native to the Orient.
Chinese records indicate that they have been grown as garden plants, food and medicines for more than 4,00 years. The plants were introduced into Europe in the mid-1500s and almost all species were introduced into American gardens by 1890. Modern daylilies are available with flowers ranging from 2 to 10 inches across. Nearly every color imaginable has been produced with the exception of true blues and pure whites. While the typical daylily has six petals, there are now multi-petaled varieties as well.
