Hemerocallis
These wonderful hardy plants are native to China and Japan where they grow wild along river banks.
An easy to grow plant suitable for any position in the garden, flowering from spring through till autumn. Aptly named as the blooms last only a day so not one for cut flower displays, but the long succession of buds means they always seem to have blooms making up for their flowers short life.
Easily propagated by division of clumps in spring or autumn. I also break off the plantlets that sprout along the stem and plant them. Look great as group plantings and along pathways or driveways, can be grown in containers.
