{"title":"Daylilies","description":"\u003cp\u003eDaylilies, Hemerocallis, are among the toughest flowering perennials you can plant. They form arching clumps of strappy leaves and send up stems of trumpet flowers from late spring through summer. Each flower lasts a single day, but the buds open in a long succession. The plants here are compact, reblooming Stella types that flower in repeated flushes. They grow in full sun from cool temperate to subtropical gardens. Daylilies are highly poisonous to cats, so read the note below before planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to choose a daylily\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Stella group began with the golden yellow Stella D'Oro, a dwarf daylily valued because it flowers again and again through the warm months instead of in one burst. The others in the range share that compact habit and repeat flowering, so the choice comes down to colour. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sunny-yellow-dwarf-daylily-hemerocallis-stella-citron\"\u003eSunny Yellow Dwarf Daylily\u003c\/a\u003e is a yellow form, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/red-daylily-hemerocallis-stella-rouge\"\u003eRed Daylily\u003c\/a\u003e gives a deep red, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/long-flowering-dwarf-daylily-hemerocallis-stella-tangerine\"\u003eLong Flowering Dwarf Daylily\u003c\/a\u003e is the tangerine member of the group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne colour planted in a drift has more effect than a mixture. Yellow reads clearly from a distance and suits edging along a path or driveway, while red and orange work well close to a seating area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere daylilies grow\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDaylilies grow across most of Australia, from Tasmania and the cold tablelands through the temperate south to subtropical Queensland. They are frost hardy; in cold districts the foliage dies down in winter and returns in spring, while in mild climates many stay green. In the tropics the constant heat and humidity suit them less. Give them full sun for the most flowers, or light afternoon shade in hot inland areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese compact types form clumps about 30 to 40 centimetres high, with the flower stems a little above the leaves. They are useful along borders, on banks and in mass plantings with other \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/flowering-plants\"\u003eflowering plants\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/grasses-and-strappy-leaf\"\u003egrasses and strappy leaf plants\u003c\/a\u003e, and they do well as \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/plants-for-pots\"\u003eplants for pots\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting and spacing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlant at any time in mild weather; autumn and early spring give the easiest establishment. Daylilies accept most soils, including clay, provided water does not sit around the crown. Dig in compost, set the crown just at soil level and water in. Space compact types 30 to 40 centimetres apart for edging or mass planting. In a pot, use a quality potting mix and a container at least 30 centimetres wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare basics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWater regularly for the first season. Established clumps cope with dry spells, though they flower longer with a deep soak each week in summer. Feed in early spring and again after the first flush of flowers. Snap off spent flowers and cut finished stems to the base to keep reblooming types going.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTidy old leaves in late winter. Every three or four years, when the centre of a clump becomes crowded and flowering drops, lift it in autumn or late winter, split it with a spade and replant the outer pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSafety matters with this plant. Daylilies are highly poisonous to cats. Every part is dangerous, including the leaves, the flowers and the pollen, which a cat can swallow while grooming, and even a small amount can cause kidney failure. Do not plant daylilies where cats roam, and do not bring the cut flowers into a house with a cat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long do daylily flowers last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach flower opens for one day. A stem carries many buds, and reblooming types send up new stems for months, so a clump is in flower from late spring through summer and often into autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo daylilies need full sun?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey flower most freely with at least six hours of sun. They grow in part shade but with fewer flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre daylilies poisonous to cats?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, highly. All parts, including the pollen and the leaves, can cause fatal kidney damage in cats. Keep them out of gardens that cats use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo daylilies die back in winter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn cold areas the leaves die down and reshoot in spring.
