Daylily For minimum maintenance in sunny gardens, Daylilies are one of the first perennials that come to mind. Although each blossom lasts only a day, a single plant may produce up to 500 flowers during the growing season.
Flowers are softest buttery yellow, fading to apricot in the throat and with petals backed in brown.
For weeks during late summer, a lovely, huge clump of H. altissima has bloomed daily and anchored the end of a sunny border here at Niche. Tallest of all daylily species and lightly night fragrant, H. altissima is frequently used in breeding. Tuck these 6' stems behind some ornamental grasses for a stunning effect. This delightful image describes the magical flowers of 'Apple Chill Silk'. Place it in a spot that you walk by often so that you can stop and observe the small, delicate flowers closely.
