Daylilies: Cultivars of American Breeding With a Photo And Description

Spread the love

Why are daylilies so popular in the US? They appreciate their unpretentiousness, the rapid growth of the Bush, the ability to bloom without transplanting for many years, as the center of the Bush does not bare over time. Daylilies are also known for the duration of flowering — overgrown Bush has more than 20 stems, each — up to 40 buds, blooming gradually, for several weeks.

If you plant varieties of different terms, then for the whole second half of the summer, until frost, your garden is provided with continuous flowering. And what a huge variety of shapes and colors in the varieties of modern selection! Among them there is, perhaps, only pure black and pure blue. But there are such dark purple that cast black velvet, and the latest varieties — almost blue eyes…

In the United States, there are more than a hundred nurseries, not only selling planting material, but also engaged in the development of new varieties of daylilies, several hundred of which are registered every year. Therefore, it is quite difficult to Orient in the world of modern achievements. I’ll try to help you.

I present descriptions of some varieties that have recently come to my collection.
