The daylily is an amazingly low-maintenance perennial. It’s virtually disease-free, pest-free, and drought-resistant; it’s also not picky about soil quality. Plus, the flower has a long bloom period! Here’s how to plant and care for daylilies in your garden, as well as how to easily propagate them for more plants!
About Daylilies
The daylily’s botanical name, Hemerocallis, comes from the Greek hemera (“day”) and kallos (“beauty”). The name is appropriate since each flower lasts only one day! However, each scape has 12 to 15 buds on it, and a mature plant can have 4 to 6 scapes, which is why the flower seems to bloom continuously.
Originally from Asia, these plants have adapted so well that many of us think of them as natives. Imagine the excitement of a 16th-century explorer cruising the Orient and finding these gorgeous plants! European gardeners welcomed daylilies into their gardens, and when early colonists sailed for the New World, daylilies made the crossing with them.
Despite their name, daylilies are not “true lilies” and grow from fleshy roots. True lilies grow from onion-like bulbs and are of the genus Lilium, as are Asiatic and Oriental lilies. In the case of daylilies, leaves grow from a crown, and the flowers form on leafless stems—called “scapes”—which rise above the foliage.
There are thousands of beautiful daylilies to choose from. Combine early, midseason, late blooming varieties, and repeat bloomers to have daylilies in flower from late spring through the first frost of fall. If you see a height listed alongside a daylily variety, this refers to the length of the scape. Some can reach 6 feet tall!

These Daylilies were photographed at Pashley Manor Gardens. At Pashley you will discover 11 acres of beautiful borders and vistas – the culmination of a lifetime of passion for gardening, an appetite for beauty and an admiration of the tradition of the English Country garden. These graceful gardens, on the border of Sussex and Kent, are family owned and maintained – visitors often express delight at the attention to detail displayed throughout and the intimate, peaceful atmosphere.
All the ingredients of the English Country Garden are present – sweeping herbaceous borders, ha-ha, well maintained lawns, box hedges, espaliered rose walk, historic walled garden, inspiring kitchen garden, venerable trees and the Grade I listed house as a backdrop. The gardens are a haven for wildlife – bees, butterflies and small birds as well as moor hens, ducks and a black swan. Then, of course, the plants! Borders overflowing with perennials and annuals – the look changing through the seasons, but always abundantly filled, and each garden ‘room’ planted in a different colour theme.
Pashley is also renowned for fantastic displays of tulips, roses and dahlias. Our annual Tulip Festival features more than 48,000 tulips this year! During Special Rose Week over a hundred varieties of rose swathe the walls, climb obelisks and bloom in flower beds. Then in late summer our Dahlia Days event transforms the gardens once more with bountiful, brightly coloured dahlias in every border and pot.
Add to all this a Café and Terrace with excellent garden views, serving delicious homemade lunches, scones and cakes; Sculpture and Art Exhibitions; a Gift Shop with Plant Sales; and a friendly, knowledgeable team waiting to welcome you, and the recipe for a wonderful day out is complete.

I had imagined there would be a great sunset so I headed to the top of The Roaches with Darcy. Spotting a climber on top I headed his way thinking I might silhouette him against the sky. But the sun quickly hid behind a very thick bank of cloud and all the light disappeared.
They were just finishing the climb, the one on top shouting down encouragement along the lines of, "Come on, hurry up! What's taking you so long?" The other looking up muttering, "Are you having a laugh? That's quite tough!" I would have dumped the shot as the lighting is horrible except the climbers asked for a copy of the picture which they explained was 'special' as they never get a photo of the two of them climbing together. And I think the photo captures the bond between the two (without any posing for the camera), presumably of friendship and trust. In that respect I was happy to oblige and send this photo to them!
Amtrak’s westbound Southwest Chief climbs Raton Pass at Wootton, Colorado, on March 6, 2005. Two deadhead Superliner cars up front make for a strange looking train…
Fine art long lens landscape.
The tower sits, fenced in a small enclosure at the apex of a hill with the lands sloping sharply away on all sides. The trees that used to come close to one side have been cleared but even so there is no obvious way (apart from buying a drone cam) to get the Prop and much of a sunset into shot. I do not have a 10 mm lens for my R6mkII...yet, but geometric distortion would be even worse. Of course one could climb into one of the adjoining fields with a2 m high self-standing ladder....but.....not very practical.
The Prop of Ythsie (pronounced “Icy”) is a striking local landmark which stands on the Hill of Ysthie just east of the village of Tarves. The stone tower is visible from many points in the surrounding area of Formartine, including from parts of the Estate. It was built by the tenantry of Haddo in memory of the 4th Earl of Aberdeen, paying tribute to the extensive improvement works he carried out on the Estate for the local residents. It is still in family ownership, though it is maintained by Aberdeenshire Council for the benefit of its numerous visitors. In years gone by a flag was flown from the top of the Ythsie Tower to herald the beginning of the curling season at the Haddo House Curling Club. haddoestate.com/history/heritage/prop-of-ythsie/

Another rose growing in my garden, this one is the climbing version of Iceberg. It is much more slow in growth than Rambling Rector and is generally well behaved although it is susceptible to black spot. It is growing over an arch and along a fence.

A pair of former Citirail GE’s lead a westbound CN stack train through the rock cuts into Jasper, for a crew change.
Vermont Railway train 263 is grinding eastward on the Green Mountain Railroad's Bellows Falls Subdivision on a cloudy late fall morning. They are approaching the popular photo location at the s-curve leading into the first Vermont Route 103 crossing at about MP 45.7 on this historic former Rutland mainline which opened between Bellows Falls and Burlington in 1849. In the lead is SD70M-2 431 built in December 2006 for the Florida East Coast, and one of only two six axle units on the roster. She is trailed by three geeps (GMTX 2215, CLP 204, VTR 207) and thirty cars destined for Riverside Yard in Rockingham. The train is working hard and is in the process of climbing nearly 1000 ft in the 18 mile stretch from Rutland until they reach the crest of the Green Mountains at 1518 ft nearly aptly named Summit Station.
A half dozen miles to the west rise the 2000+ foot peaks of the Taconic Mountains which are catching some late morning sun that would prove elusive over here to the east in the Greens.

A westbound Union Pacific coal train (with three SP AC4400CWs mixed in for good measure) climbs through Clay, Colorado, on April 27, 2001. Below, two rear DPU locomotives push in the slack as they climb toward Big 10 Curve—and below that—a small herd of cattle are much more interested in the sprouting spring grass than the train.
Union Pacific No. 5511 leads a Canadian Pacific freight train up the western slope of Crowsnest Pass on June 17, 2017. In a few minutes, the train will be on the mountain side high above the locomotive's cab after looping up and around the canyon.
