Daylily hybrids are herbaceous perennials in the asphodel family (Asphodelaceae). They have an arching, clumping habit and a rapid growth rate that assists their spreading nature. Daylilies grow best in full sun to partial shade and in loamy soil with good drainage and average fertility. If the soil is too rich or the site too shady, there will be relatively little flowering. Propagate daylilies by division. They are drought, heat, and salt resistant and tolerate urban conditions, too. A wide selection of solid colors and color patterns is available (shades of red, pink, yellow, orange, purple, and bicolor), and a range of sizes from small to very large. Ruffled, picotee, and 'pie crust' edges are also available characteristics. Grow daylilies in containers, on a patio, or along a walkway. They are attractive in a mass planting in a foundation, a naturalized area, or on a slope. Add them to a pollinator garden for them to be enjoyed by butterflies and hummingbirds. Insects, Diseases, and Other Plant Problems: No significant problems. The Clemson Cooperative Extension Home and Garden Information Center has a factsheet on common day lily diseases and other plant problems.
