Each bloom lasts a day, but every stem carries several buds, so the plant flowers over a long season. One caution: daylilies are highly toxic to cats, so skip it if cats visit your garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA long flowering season.\u003c\/strong\u003e Individual flowers last only a day, but each stem carries multiple blooms and the plant keeps producing them over a long period.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClear golden colour.\u003c\/strong\u003e A clean, bright yellow with a gentle fragrance, easy to place against green foliage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact.\u003c\/strong\u003e At 30cm by 30cm it suits narrow borders, path edges and large pots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy to please.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is adaptable to most soil types and pH levels, frost hardy once established, and needs very little care when planted in plenty of compost.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun or shade.\u003c\/strong\u003e It wants at least half a day of full sun, but will grow in shade where flowering is reduced.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works best\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBorders and pathways.\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant 30cm apart in groups or a continuous line along a border or path.

Keep them out of any garden cats can reach.
