HERBACEOUS PERENNIALS Hemerocallis/Daylily Daylilies come in many shapes and sizes - small compact plants to taller grassy mounds. These colorful flowers are easy to grow and thrive in almost any type of soil. They are tough and rugged, growing in sun or partial shade. Generally the flowers only last for one day but new varieties are available that produce longer lasting flowers as well as more flowers, double flowers, spider-type flowers and reblooming flowers.
