About the Family

The genus Hemerocallis, commonly known as day lilies, unfolds a captivating story of botanical diversity and enduring beauty in gardens world-wide. These perennial flowering plants, belonging to the family Asphodelaceae, are celebrated for their enchanting blossoms that grace the landscape with a kaleidoscope of colours and forms.

Hemerocallis, a Greek term meaning "beauty for a day," aptly describes the ephemeral nature of each individual flower, which typically lasts only one day. However, the brilliance of day lilies lies in their prolific production of blooms, ensuring a continuous display throughout the blooming season, which generally spans from late spring to late summer.

The genus encompasses a vast array of cultivars, presenting a panorama of flower shapes, sizes, and hues. From the classic trumpet-shaped blossoms to ruffled and spider-like forms, Hemerocallis showcase versatility in garden design. The colour palette ranges from soft pastels to vivid primaries, offering endless possibilities for creative landscaping.

Adaptable and low-maintenance, Hemerocallis thrives in various soil conditions and sunlight levels, making them ideal for both novice and experienced gardeners. Their resilience, coupled with the ability to naturalise, ensures a consistent and reliable presence in gardens, contributing to the charm and vibrancy of outdoor spaces. Daylilies, with their fleeting yet abundant beauty, stand as perennial ambassadors of grace and allure in the ever-evolving dance of the garden.
