Perennials

Daylily

Dependable summer colour from one of the easiest perennials for sunny borders and mass plantings.

Daylilies form durable clumps of arching foliage and carry trumpet-shaped summer flowers above the leaves. Each bloom lasts a day, while established plants produce a succession of buds.
