Daylilies (Hemerocallis) are eye-catching perennials known for their exotic, trumpet-shaped blooms that resemble lilies. The name Hemerocallis comes from the Greek for "beautiful for a day," reflecting the fact that each individual flower lasts for less than 24 hours. However, the plants produce a continuous succession of blooms, ensuring a vibrant and long-lasting display throughout summer and into autumn.
