summer and fall and here we often have some winter flowers. The modern sobriquet

Culture. While their beauty is their greatest recommendation, their easy culture 
and hardiness adds to their desirability. They will succeed where any plant will succeed. 
I have known abandoned plants here, where we have arid, hot summers, to persist for 
- years. But that must not be their fate. They grow well in full sun. Slight shade is 
better. If given constant moisture about their roots, preserving this and coolness of the 
earth with a good mulch, the plants are ideally situated and respond with generosity. 
They are hardy even in severe winters in the north. They are fibrous rooted, not bulbs, 
and must be planted at once when received. Altho they can be moved any time, it is 
better to ship from late fall to early spring, which we do. 
In these war times, when it is difficult to get labor. for maintenance of extensive 
gardens and landscaping, one solution is to plant Daylilies extensively. They are an 
almost perfect border or landscape plant, never have to be dug and replanted. All that 
you must do for them is, keep the weeds down and water. They will even choke out 
most of the weeds. A heavy leafy mulch helps every way. 
In Daylilies, the sepals are colored and petal-like and are an essential part of the 
floral display. .
