Gardener's Guide To Growing Daylilies

Diana Grenfell

With their striking combination of narrow arching leaves and flamboyant flowers, daylilies mark the height of the summer season with a wild rainbow of colors.

Suitable for a wide range of garden situations, daylilies make perfect companions for agapanthus, kniphofias, crocosmias, border phlox, and ornamental grasses. With over 40,000 registered cultivars, there are flowers available in every shade including creams, yellows, apricots, golds, bronzes, browns, reds, pinks, purples, almost-white and near-black.

A comprehensive and wide-ranging study of the genus by one of the world's leading daylily growers, this book is a practical guide for gardeners and collectors. It provides a wealth of essential advice on cultivation, propagation, and garden uses, together with an extensive A-Z directory describing hundreds of the very best daylilies for the garden.

Enthusiasts will enjoy reading about the history, botany and breeding of daylilies, and the accounts of daylily collections from all over the world including England, Europe, Australia, and the United States.

This guide covers the species of the genus Hemerocallis and includes contributions from American growers both in the northern and the southern states. It stresses the remarkable recent cultivars that have become so popular and covers spider, dwarf, and miniature forms suitable for smaller gardens. Like the other volumes in the series, this book combines a practical approach with an attractive presentation.
