Daylily
Daylily is the general nonscientific name of a species hybrid or cultivar of the
genus Hemerocallis. Daylily flowers are diverse in colors and forms, as a result of
the enthusiastic hybridization efforts.
The daylily has earned the title “the perfect perennial.” It comes in dazzling colors and has the ability to tolerate drought and thrive in many zones, and it needs very little care.
Daylilies thrive in full sun but certain day lilies require partial shade, depending on their color. Lighter shades and pastels require the sun to bring out their full glory.
Darker daylilies need shade since their colors absorb the heat of the sun’s rays.
Today, daylilies come in an assortment of shades except pure blue and pure white.
Daylilies have a relatively short blooming period. Some of them bloom in early spring, while some other bloom in the summer or fall. Most day lilies bloom for one to five weeks, except the rebloomer, which will bloom twice in one season.
The flowers of some species are edible and are used in Chinese cuisine. They are sold fresh or dried in as gum jum or golden needles or yellow flower vegetables
They are used in hot sour soups, daylily soup and Buddha’s delight. The plant has also been used for medicinal purposes. Caution must be employed as some species of lilies are toxic.
