What are daily lilies?
Daylilies are permanent flowers that are not part of the Lily family at all. Once classified as belonging to Liliaceae, they are now considered part of the family of Hemerocallidaceae. The scientific name for the daily lily is hemorrocallis, which is derived from Greek for "day" and "beauty". This is a reference to the life of individual flowers one day.
Available in many different colors, shapes and sizes, daily lilies are often referred to as "perfect perennial". They can survive in various climate and landscape environments. They are adaptable, tolerant drought and are not susceptible to many pests and diseases.
The appearance of daily lilies are characterized by their clustering nature, long and slender roots and the non -influencing tracks that carry flowers. Most species produce flowers that open at sunrise or sunset and the next day are replaced by another flower in the same place. Although each flower lasts only one day, the typical ones bloom abundantly to replace it. RodInka may have the same color as petals or contrasting color. Wild daily lilies come in yellow and orange colors, but hybrids are available in almost every color, except white and blue. The most common colors of the daily list are red, yellow, pink, purple and melon.
daily leaves can be arched or built. They can be long and slender or strong and grass. They are spilled from 6 to 36 inches (15.2-91.4 cm) and colors from blue-green to yellow-green. Some daily lilies are still green, which means they keep their leaves throughout the year, but most of them become sleeping in winter.
Daylilies are plants of relatively long lifetime if proper care is provided. They require mulching compost or pea in spring and fertilization for well -established roots. Although they are tolerant drought, consistent irrigation is recommended for optimal flowering. CroppingH or brownish areas of foliage are also a key part of the care of the daily list, especially during the growing season, as this gives room for new growth.
plants are most often used as decorative plants in domestic and commercial daily gardens. However, they have several other uses around the world. In China, some edible species are used in native cuisine. The roots and leaves were also used for medicinal purposes such as blood cleaning and as a diuretic. Some species are toxic and the plant should never be consumed without supervision.
