The daylily is an ancient plant from Asia. It probably had its origins in China but there is little doubt that some species have come from other countries in the region. References to the daylily go back over 2000 years.
This book presents background information on daylily species, major factors influencing the type of daylily to grow, planting and cultivation tips, descriptions and careful explanation of classification and an extensive section listing major cultivars of both large- and small-flowered daylilies.
The suggestions for gardening and landscaping visions will inspire readers. And though daylilies are known for their ease of care, there is advice on control of the pests and diseases occasionally affecting them. There is even a chapter of recipes one can use for the eating of daylilies! The colour photographs in this book are a visual feast.
