Hemerocallis (Daylilies)

Hemerocallis, commonly known as daylilies, bring vibrant colour and structure to UK gardens. These hardy perennials thrive in various soil types and sunlight conditions, making them versatile for borders, beds, and containers.

Their trumpet-shaped flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, supporting local ecosystems. Some cultivars provide nectar for moths and hummingbird hawk-moths. The dense clumps of foliage offer shelter for small insects and ground-dwelling wildlife.

Daylilies require minimal maintenance once established. They tolerate drought and resist most pests. Regular deadheading encourages prolonged blooming from early summer to autumn.
