- Description
-
Hemerocallis x hybrida is a popular, urban-tolerant perennial used along borders, wide edgings, or in mass plantings, which can be planted both in sunny sites and in partially shaded areas, It flowers best in full sun in well-drained soils of average fertility (too rich soils promote foliage with relatively little flowering).
A wide selection of solid colors and color patterns is available (shades of red, pink, yellow, orange, purple, and bicolor), and a range of sizes from small to very large. Ruffled, picotee and 'pie crust' edges are also available.
Insects, Diseases, and Other Plant Problems: Cats can show signs of vomiting, inappetence, lethargy, kidney failure, and even death after eating this plant.
