HEMEROCALLIS 
A Select Collection of the Finest 
of the Standard Day Lilies 
This hardy perennial gives color to the flower garden during the 
late summer and early autumn months. The flowers vary in color 
from a lemon-yellow to a reddish orange and these colors blend 
nicely with autumn foliage. Most of them are decidedly fragrant. 






After Hemerocallis becomes established, it thrives almost any- 
where and in almost any kind of soil. The clumps grow larger 
from year to year and should be planted from 18 to 24 inches 
apart. They seem to do equally well in full sun or partial shade. 
They stand moist locations and do nicely on the edge of 
a pool. 

By using a selection of early, midseason, and late varieties, 
the blooming season can be spread from late May to the 
middle of September. 
Applications of well-rotted cow manure should be spread 
about the plants and worked into the soil in the spring. 
Mulch lightly with straw for winter protection.
