Description
The daylily is one of the most resilient perennials: each flower lasts only one day, yet from June to August it tirelessly produces new blooms. Its robust stalks outcompete weeds and thrive even in challenging spots. The flowers and young shoots of the brown‑red daylily are edible and taste mildly sweet in salads.
Care instructions
Plant the daylily in ordinary, not overly dry soil at a sunny to semi‑shaded spot, it is highly adaptable. Water during the main flowering period if dry, otherwise natural rain is sufficient. Pinch off spent blooms for a tidy appearance and cut back the foliage in late autumn (November, week 46). Every three to four years, you can divide the stalks in spring.
