Daylilies

Hemerocallis 'Strutter's Ball'

Breeders of daylilies have produced wonderful results: More flowers bloom over a longer period (some even stay open through the night), and more varieties rebloom during the growing season. The color range has been expanded from yellow and orange to include melon, pink, red, lavender, and purple in single-color blooms or bicolor ones.

Beyond the common orange or yellow daylily, new shades include 'Strawberry Candy,' a strawberry pink with a rose eye; 'Chicago Rosy,' a ruffled rose red; 'Strutter's Ball,' a black purple (shown here).
