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.
