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.
