About Daylilies, the most popular perennials: It all started with the original wild orange Daylily. Many Americans think the tough old orange Daylily they see in old gardens and along roadsides is a wildflower, but it really isn't. No Daylily is native to North America; most hail from Asia.
Don't confuse them with the true lilies: Daylilies are not really lilies. In fact, they are quite different. As you know, true lilies grow on tall stems with flowers at the top. Daylily flower stems (called scapes) are generally much shorter, and grow from a fountain of grass-like foliage at ground level. Daylilies are members of the genus, Hemerocallis, not Lilium, which is the genus name of true lilies.
Daylily Roots, not bulbs As all good gardeners know, Daylilies don't grow from bulbs like true lilies. Daylilies form a mass of thickened, fleshy roots. These unique root systems hold so much moisture and nutrients, the plants can survive out of the ground for weeks. This survival system, making them tough, and really easy to handle, is one of the reasons they're so popular today. They're also dependably hardy, so once you have them, you have them for years.
Types of Daylilies for today's gardens: The famous old orange Daylily and the well-known old Lemon Lily are not the only wild Daylilies, just the most famous. There are 20 Daylily species, worldwide. Today from those 20 plants, more than 20,000 hybrids have been created, to satisfy gardeners who love Daylilies, and just cant get enough. Hybridizing Daylilies for various colors and styles is not new. Famous old reliable hybrids like Catherine Woodbury--the lovely lavender and yellow bi-color--have been around for decades.
The re-bloomers for twice the bloom. Today's craze for re-blooming Daylilies all began with Stella D'Oro, the now-famous yellow dwarf Daylily that blooms once during late spring (the regular Daylily blooming season), and then again in late August and into fall. Today, there are hundreds of re-bloomers, from dwarfs to full-size beauties.
The latest and greatest: In any group of highly popular hybrids, there is always something newer and better. Some real break-through successes of new types for their times are Daylilies like Victoria's Secret and Big Smile, with elaborately ruffled petals and clear contrasts of magnificent colors.

"I planted these as bulbs last fall in with a variety of other day lilies. So far I have not seen any blooms and am starting to feel disappointed as all my other day lilies are blooming or at least have flower stalks with buds. I am not even sure if they sprouted, as I do have them mixed in with other day lilies."
"They came healthy and grew fast and look beautiful. I definitely recommend 👌"
"These bulbs were in absolutely great condition ! Healthy, large, pretty much already sprouting bulbs ! These were planted in planter boxes and even though it's only been 5 days since planting; they are already clearly starting to grow. Very happy with the quality of these bulbs. I will update in a few weeks when they have fully bloomed."
"planted 9 bare roots in Fall 2019. first year no flower but healthy. This is their 2nd years. They have been kept blooming for one month and still keep coming. big and beautiful flower, made good accompany to my white casablanca lilly from American meadows as well"
"First time ordering plants online. Was skeptical when arrived that they would live. Small seedlings. Planted per instructions. Watered a lot and fertilized. All 18 grew to be healthy and produced beautiful flowers. They continue to grow in size. Will order next time from American Meadows when looking for those special plants needed for our yard."
"I planted about 9 bulbs and I would say about 2 flowered. That's fair being it is the first year of being planted."
"Only one out of six plants actually produced any flowers and they didn't last very long. The color was beautiful. I hope my plants will survive the winter and hopefully grow larger and produce flowers next year. Only time will tell; the plants didn't grow much this year."
"Plants never really thrived in a brand new bed of Miracle Grow Garden Soil. Never really thrived, no blooms."
"So beautiful, just have to keep my grandchildren from picking the flowers!"
"I've been growing this cultivar for 3 years now. One thing to keep in mind, 'Crimson Pirate' increases fast so be sure to space your plants accordingly to avoid having to divide clumps frequently. Otherwise, they've been healthy for me, fill in the bed like they've been there forever, and present a beautiful display of crimson red spider blooms. Scapes don't get excessively high so these could be used near the front of a boarder or along a walkway. Easy to grow!"
