Why Hundreds of Daylily Varieties Are Justified 
The average garden can use scores of Daylily varieties because of the wide range in colors, types, 
and seasons. 
COLORS range through light yellow, lemon-yellow, golden yellow, orange, fulvous, copper, 
bronze, buff, salmon, pink, red and maroon—uniformly or in combinations and contrasts. 
TYPES include dwarf to giant plants and bloom stems; small to large flowers; flowers in clusters, 
on many branches or on stately stems; bicolors, blends, selfs, eyed or patterned. 
SEASONS. Most Daylilies bear successive blooms for about a month during favorable seasons. 
There will eventually be varieties of each type for May, June, July, August, September and October. 
SUMMARY. Multiply just eight of the colors by only six of the types, by at least four of the 
months, for 192 varieties of Daylilies, without ever having duplicates blooming at the same time.
