Daylily Orange Fulva Bare Root Plants (Minimum Quantity: 25 Plants)
Hemerocallis fulva, commonly known as the tawny or orange daylily, or even ditch lily, is a bold and vigorous perennial that brings a fiery splash of color to roadsides, meadows, and gardens alike. Its trumpet-shaped, burnt-orange blooms, often streaked with hints of copper and gold, stand tall on sturdy, leafless stems, creating a striking contrast against the dense, arching clumps of deep green foliage. Each flower lasts for just a single day—true to its name, which means “beauty for a day”—but the plant’s prolific blooming habit ensures a dazzling display from early to mid-summer. Often seen thriving in wild, untamed spaces, Hemerocallis fulva embodies a rugged, natural beauty that effortlessly blends into cottage gardens and informal landscapes.
Beyond its ornamental appeal, Hemerocallis fulva is a gardener’s dream, requiring little care while offering years of reliable performance. It flourishes in a variety of conditions, from sun-drenched fields to partially shaded woodland edges, and is notably resistant to pests, diseases, and drought. Spreading readily through underground rhizomes, it naturalizes easily, forming large, lush colonies that are as resilient as they are beautiful. Whether gracing a well-tended garden bed or lending a wild, untamed charm to a roadside embankment, this beloved daylily remains a symbol of effortless elegance and enduring strength.

Comments: Daylilies are garden staples. They are so-named because the individual flowers last only one day. However, they offer lovely blooms in many colors, an extended bloom season, and they're tough. They are easy to transplant, simple to grow, quick to multiply, drought-tolerant, deer resistant, and bothered by few pests. Planted en masse, they stifle weeds and make a lovely colorful ground cover. They're perfect for naturalizing, too.
Daylilies are generally hardy in USDA climate zones 3 - 10. Plant in full sun to partial shade.
