Day Lilies

Right after the roses are finished with their first round of blossoms the Day Lilies start their show.

Day Lilies are so pretty for many different reasons.

There are hundreds of different varieties and colors

You can pretty much find a variety to suit your tastes

They are relatively in expensive for the type of plant you are getting.

They last for years and years and get bigger each year.

Most of my Day Lilies I got for free from my parents when they divided theirs.
It is easy to find a neighbor of friend to get starts from, and they transplant very well.

However, I have seen some varieties in catalogues that are hundreds of dollars!

They grow in nice big bushes
in a matter of a few seasons they will fill in any spot.

They love full sun and can be grown just about anywhere

The only draw back, the blossom only lasts a day

hence the name
Day Lily

  1. My neighbor will be giving me her whole bed of red daylilies. She does not like the color.

    What a blessing. I love daylilies,but always get to HomeDepot just in time to find an empty box (sold out 2 years in a row).

    Thank goodness for wonderful neighbors and family who are willing to share.

  2. I absolutely love day lilies! I think they are beautiful and when you have them in your yard you look forward to them every day! I see them at my moms house and just love the variety. I don’t have them in my garden, YET, but one day I will!
