DAYLILIES in the last few years have been developed to a high 
degree of perfection to make them deserving of their more formal 
name, hemerocallis. In contrast to the older varieties you already 
know, there are the new ones boasting a delightful fragrance, those 
that will open even on dark, cloudy days, and those that will stay 
fresh as cut flowers, making new and unusual arrangements possible. 
There is now an intriguing color range and a widely adaptable varia- 
tion in height. Some multiply rapidly if you wish to fill in an area 
quickly. Others multiply slowly if you wish them to stay put in a 
small space. An armchair gardener’s delight, they are disease-free 
and pest-free; they will thrive in any soil even under mistreatment 
and neglect. For quickest effect, plant in groups of three of a kind.
