HEMEROCALLIS---DAYLILIES 
Daylilies in the last few years have been developed to a high d2gree 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 floral arrangements possible. There 
is now an intriguing color range and a widely adaptable variation in height. Some 
multiply rapidly if you wish to fill in an area quickiy. 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.
