HEMEROCALLIS
Central Europe to Japan. Vigorous and easily grown perennials of the lily family. They form fountain-like clumps of closely packed shoots with arching, folded leaves. Through out the summer months they display large lily-like blossoms on branched stems. Each flower lasts only one to a few days, but is quickly replaced by another. Sun, most soils, regular watering for best bloom, though the plants will endure some drought. Hardy to below 0oF.
