Day-I a lies
By Erances Meeks
Small wonder that day-lilies
(hemerocallis) are called “th<
lazy gardener's delight.” Few
are the flowers that ask so lit
tle and have so much to give
The flowers of many, like flags
on display, appear with the
dawn and furl their colors at
sunset. And they keep up the
show month after month.
Given the minimum of care
they need, they grow with the
kind of wild abandon that re
stores a gardener's faith in
himself.
I know of no other hardy per
ennial that is more adaptable
to almost any soil or climate
condition and produces as much
colorful bloom from late spring
until fall in sun or semi-shade
with so little attention.
It's a mistake to think of
day-lilies as all yellow or
orange—their native hues. The
color range is marvelous and
ever-increasing. If you haven't
seen a day-lily catalog lately,
you’ll find it's a revelation.
Listed are 15-inch dwarfs, ma
iestic types up to 41 inches tall,
with countless varieties in be
tween. Some bloom early, oth
ers midseason, while many
flower from mid-season until
very late. And some stay open
at night. Flower forms vary.
True lily-like forms with wide
reflexed petals characterize
many varieties; narrow twisted
“spider” petals or frilly small
flowered gladiolus-like blooms
are especially appealing. And
the colors! It’s impossible to de
scribe the range of hues, the
throat and petal markings in
every color of the rainbow ex
cept blue.
These easiest of all perenni
als with their brilliant flowers
found their way into my garden
as gift plants.
