Content

Long gone are the days when daylilies in every city courtyard and every garden looked exactly the same. Today, the variety of delicious beauty can even compete with tulips. And new varieties appear almost every day. Extravagant, original, touching or vibrant, modern daylilies have made a significant leap forward and are firmly entrenched in the lists of favorite herbaceous perennials. And even the most elaborate and rare varieties of this plant still live up to its reputation as an unpretentious and friendly culture.

Flower garden of different varieties of daylily

Today, when the number of varieties of daylilies has exceeded 70 thousand, it is difficult to believe that just a couple of centuries ago, delicious krasodnya was perceived solely as a nutritious crop. Indeed, in ancient China, the plant was considered both as a medicinal and as a delicacy plant, preparing a variety of delicacies from buds, young leaves and even rhizomes. In some countries, fried stuffed daylily flowers are still on the menu today. But nevertheless, this plant has long changed its former status to decorative. Effective throughout the active season, easily fitting into any design style and any mixed compositions, not afraid of solo parties, long-blooming and undemanding daylilies are not just one of the most beautiful herbaceous perennials, but also almost irreplaceable plants.

Representatives of the genus Daylily (Hemerocallis) are herbaceous perennials with a compact but powerful root system, forming amazingly beautiful and lush fountain-like clumps of long belt-like linear root leaves that adorn the garden both before and after flowering. But the real beauty of daylilies is revealed only when the daylily produces stems with sparsely located short leaves crowned with loose inflorescences of 20-50 flowers, in which each flower blooms for just one day.

And although daylilies are not those perennials that are able to bloom all season, from spring to autumn, but that summer show that varietal daylilies arrange from June to September is quite enough to consider them the main flowering perennials. Most modern daylilies are remontant plants that can bloom again.Despite the fact that the flowering period of each variety lasts from 4 to 8 weeks (with the rare exception of the last hybrids that bloom longer than usual), the choice of varieties with an early, medium and late start of flowering allows you to create a baton of daylilies and stretch the total flowering for three or more months ...

Going Bananas daylily flower garden

Measuring and describing the variety of daylily varieties is very difficult and almost impossible. Simpler or with an unusual structure, large and small-colored, graceful and extravagant, bright and romantic - there are a variety of varieties among daylilies. From tiny varieties only 25-30 cm high to huge spreading bushes over 150 cm high, from miniature flowers 3.5 cm in diameter to huge 35 cm flowers, and this, not to mention the choice between triangular, round, simple, spider-shaped flowers, the presence of frills, ruffles or fringes, watermarks, folds and tucks ... Daylilies are really very diverse. But still, even in the huge assortment of varieties and hybrids, which the American Daylily Society AHS carefully catalogs and studies, there are undoubted favorites that have won fans around the globe.

Let's take a closer look at 11 of the best varieties of modern daylilies, which are worth paying attention to in catalogs and at exhibitions - unpretentious, especially spectacular hybrids that stand out brightly in any collection with unforgettable flowering.

Daylily variety "Black Prince"

Despite its youth, "Black Prince" is a legendary and unique beauty day. Of course, the color of the flowers does not even come close to black, but only offers to admire the satin-burgundy tones. But such a dark color is not typical for daylilies in general, so a slight exaggeration (about the prince's color) can be forgiven. It is a medium-sized daylily with a maximum height of up to 1 m, capable of blooming repeatedly. Flowers up to 15 cm in diameter appear only by July, flowering lasts a little more than 1 month. The dark cherry-burgundy color is combined with a thin yellow stripe in the center of the petals, as if flowing from a bright yellow neck. The flower shape is very elegant, classic. The only drawback of a daylily with such an original dark color is medium-sized clumps and a small number of flowers on peduncles (most often three flowers bloom on one stem, and their total number rarely exceeds 20 pieces).

Daylily variety "Black Prince"

The charming dark soloist looks great against the background of plants with light or original greenery and in the company of white, pink and yellow-flowered plants. Phlox, cuff, Byzantine chisel, wormwood, silvery heuchera - these are the best partners for this variety. But still the most impressive "Black Prince" looks in the borders.

Daylily variety "Black Stockings"

This is a much more original dark-colored semi-evergreen daylily, capable of re-flowering. Small plants up to 60 cm in height are distinguished by thicker greenery and a lush curtain with an emerald green tint, a beautiful curvature of the leaves. And their flowers are inimitable. Reaching a diameter of 15 cm, these krasodnye flaunts wide, decorated with luxurious ruffles and beautifully curving petals, with a thin yellow smear from the throat and a basic crap-wine color of the darkest tones. The variety blooms profusely, more than 30 flowers bloom on one peduncle.

Daylily variety "Black Stockings"

This variety looks great with white-flowering partners, in borders, as a soloist.

Daylily variety "Spotted Fever"

This is a terry daylily with a special structure and unusual color. Triangular flowers with a fancifully twisted center and an almost green throat conquer with their almost graphic ripple effect: on a whitish-peach, very delicate background, crimson-purple ripples from the smallest strokes appear. Internal combs look surprisingly elegant. The height of the peduncles is about half a meter, the clumps are semi-evergreen.Leaves are numerous, collected in a very beautiful dense clump. This is one of the most abundantly flowering daylilies - a small masterpiece of nature, from which it is impossible to take your eyes off.

Daylily variety "Spotted Fever"

This unique plant is always used in the foreground, in the most advantageous places, where the unique beauty of the plant will be revealed most fully. At the peak of flowering, the bushes look like living bouquets.

Daylily variety "Mike Longo"

It is not quite yellow-flowered, but rather a creamy-melon-golden daylily, famous not only for its unusually pastel color tone, but also for the number of flowers. This amazing variety has about fifty flowers on each peduncle per season. The repaired krasodnev conquers with the strong corrugation of the petals with embossed veins and strikingly beautiful ruffles. The bright yellow throat fades into different shades of cream and a brighter color around the edge. You can endlessly admire the nuances of color, because an attentive observer can find more than 10 shades in one flower. Beautiful dark leaves are complemented by highly branched peduncles, which give the bushes a particularly elegant look.

They reach 15 cm in diameter and are distinguished by delicate corrugation along the edge. This daylily blooms late, in early August, but surprises with the simultaneous blooming of three flowers on one peduncle. The bushes are compact and dense. A pleasant "bonus" is a strong aroma that is wonderfully combined with a fruity-rich color tone. The maximum height is up to 60 cm.

Daylily varieties "Burning Daylight"

For this variety to reveal its beauty, it is worth picking up violet-flowered partners for it - catnip, veronica, sage, lavender or phlox.

Daylily variety "Stella d'Oro"

This daylily has rightfully earned the title of a legendary variety. Also yellow, but with much more modest lemon flowers, the variety conquers with a combination of delicately bright blooms with the beauty of bright clumps of greenery. The funnel-shaped flowers will not exceed 6 cm in diameter, but they look bright due to the peduncles that practically do not exceed the straight leaves and the delicate melon-yellow color contrasting with the dark color of the greenery. The bushes are medium-sized, up to 40 cm high, but strikingly dense and dense, the leaves are attractive all season. From a distance, it seems that the bushes are completely covered with flowers due to the highly spreading inflorescences, and flowering occurs in several waves and can begin in late spring. The aroma is subtle, but due to the abundance of flowers, it is felt quite strongly.

To reveal the beauty of the Stella d'Oro daylily, it should be used in curbs or planted in the company of massive, lush perennials - catnip, St. John's wort and stonecrop.

Daylily variety "Thin Man"

This variety is considered one of the largest and strikes with huge flowers. Belongs "Thin Man" to daylilies-spiders, its petals are graceful, thin, elongated-pointed, fancifully twisting at the ends into a spiral spiral. The spectacular transition of a bright yellow throat to wine-red petals with a light spot at the base passing into a central white line and two-colored stamens make the flowers seem even larger from the play of shades. The diameter of the flower is up to 30 cm. The leaves are quite dark and long, the clumps are powerful, the flower stalks rise to a meter height. One peduncle bears up to 30 flowers.

Daylily variety "Thin Man"

The variety with huge flowers reveals its beauty best in the company of flowering shrubs and small-flowered textural perennials.Sage, catnip, oregano and spirea are ideal partners for this beauty.

Daylily variety "Ginger Twist"

Another arachnid star from among the most beloved daylilies. Its flowers are huge, up to 28 cm in diameter. The watercolor orange-pink base color is combined with red chevrons, which seem to have been "drawn" with crayons or pastels. But most of all, the narrow base of practically non-closing petals is surprising, because of which the flower seems even more graceful. This is a medium-sized daylily, the watercolor miracle of flowers of which is effectively emphasized by very dark-colored leaves, the shape of which somehow echoes the narrow, spaced petals of flowers.

Daylily variety "Ginger Twist"

This variety will perfectly cope with the role of a soloist against a neutral background - not only a lawn or ground cover, low perennials, but also decorative dumping.

Daylily variety "Jordan"

One of the massive daylily varieties that look like a lively bouquet. The height of the bushes is up to 60 cm. The leaves are very dense, flaunting a dark, muted green color, quite wide. Flowers up to 15 cm in diameter are numerous. The petals are densely arranged, very wide, forming an almost "solid" flower. The unique dark pink color of the petals is combined with a lemon spot in the center of the throat and dark stamens. The petals are characterized by a special satin-velvet matte finish, which makes the colors shine in a new way. And the light corrugation of the edge seems to emphasize that all attention should be paid to color. The leaves are bright green, surprisingly catchy look against the background of other perennials.

Daylily variety "Jordan"

This daylily can be planted even one bush at a time in any company and in all types of decorative compositions.

Up to 45 flowers bloom on each peduncle. Light-colored stamens with dark anthers seem incredibly touching. The foliage of a very bright color is collected in dense clumps. This is a medium-sized krasodny, with a height of 60 to 70 cm. A unique daylily blooms in July and pleases with flowering until the end of August.

Daylily variety "Alpine Ruffles"

This variety is gentle and romantic, looks great as a soloist or an accent on flower beds, combined with any plants. But it glows most beautifully in the company of cuffs and geraniums.

Daylily variety "Andy Candy"

This krasodnev is one of the favorites among the varieties with a rounded flower shape. It really looks very tasty - bright, with a basic orange color, which almost completely overshadows a huge red spot, it seems surprisingly massive. The charm of the plant is also given by the dark red edging along the edge of the petals. It is considered an evergreen or semi-evergreen daylily with an extended flowering period and early start. The leaves are broadly linear, with an emerald tint, but the curtains are rather modest in volume, narrow and not so dense. The height of the peduncles is about 70 cm.

Daylily variety "Andy Candy"

This daylily stands out in any environment. But variegated and silver-leaved partners and a single planting give it a special charm - so all the beauty of flowers can be appreciated without difficulty.

In order to succeed in growing varietal daylilies, only a few important aspects of cultivation need to be considered:

  • daylilies love sunny places, but dark-colored varieties fade in full sun and it is better to provide them with light shade;
  • for Krasnodnev, only fertile, high-quality loose, loamy or sandy loam soil with a good organic content and a neutral reaction is suitable;
  • deep watering in severe drought and two top dressing - in early spring and a month after the peak of flowering - these are all basic care measures;
  • in flowering daylilies, you need to regularly pluck out wilted flowers - this is not difficult, but daylilies will reveal their beauty (withered flowers do not so much affect the duration of flowering, as they give the plant untidiness and neglect);
  • the foliage of daylilies is cut off only after it has completely turned yellow, to a height of 5 cm;
  • daylilies are separated with a frequency of 8-10 years, in early May or late August, dividing into large parts.

If you want daylilies to be the star of your garden, plant them alongside crops with contrasting leaves whenever and wherever. Combine daylilies with openwork-lush crops like cuff, geraniums and catnip, with perennials with radically different characteristics like lupins and delphiniums, foxglove and basilis, phlox, astilba, echinacea and monarda. And do not forget to add a few partners with an eye on the fall: daylily foliage will decorate ensembles with asters, chrysanthemums, stonecrops, aconite, calimeris. But you can always play in an unexpected contrast with decorative grasses - they also have narrow leaves in beautiful turf, but the character is completely different.

Daylily is an ideal variant of a perennial ornamental plant that attracts flower growers all over the world with the beauty of the flower, unpretentiousness and variety of varieties.

Variety groups and current classification

A winter-hardy plant, blooming almost all summer, has gained popularity and is among the leaders in both beauty and many varieties. Today, more than 70 thousand varieties of hybrid daylily have been registered and every year the species is replenished with new products. Breeders of America and Australia have managed to breed many varieties of this amazingly beautiful and unpretentious flower with proper care.

Each variety is widely used for the formation of landscape design of any style. Depending on the species, modern daylilies are used to decorate rockeries and alpine slides. Low-growing varieties of daylilies are suitable as a hedge. Also bred varieties with an extraordinary aroma.

Daylily flowers of various shapes and shades will not find equal among many decorative cultures. Officially, they are usually distinguished by the shape of the flower. It is on this basis that they are divided into the following groups:

  • simple (SINGLE);
  • terry (DOUBLE);
  • arachnids (SPIDERS);
  • unusual shape (UFO);
  • polymers (POLYMEROUS);
  • multiforms (MULTIFORM).

The American Daylily Society, the world's official variety registrar, has developed a daylily classification that reflects all the properties and capabilities of the flower. It is she who will help the novice florist make the right choice and understand the variety of varieties. Today the classification includes the following criteria:

  1. Genetic ploidy, characterizes the daylily by the number of chromosomes, which are 22 in diploids (DIP), and 44 in tetraploids (TET). The latter have a larger flower, with a variety of shades, as well as a developed vegetative system and increasing selection possibilities. At the same time, diploids boast delicate flowers of exquisite shape and a high degree of reproduction due to the large number of seeds. The same plant variety can be diploid or tetraploid, but the latter will cost more due to the time and cost involved in converting daylilies.
  2. Types of vegetation, which are subdivided into evergreen, semi-evergreen and dormant... For regions with cold winters, semi-evergreen or dormant varieties are suitable, which can adapt to variable temperatures and come alive in spring.
  3. Flowering time... Each subspecies has its own flowering period, starting in mid-June and continuing until the end of August. Most modern hybrid varieties are remontant, that is, they have the ability to bloom several times throughout the season.

It is important to know that, in accordance with the international system, it is customary to designate the flowering time with the following abbreviation:

  • early (E);
  • medium early (EM);
  • medium (M);
  • medium late (ML);
  • late (L);
  • very late (VL).
  1. Flowering type:
  • night (Nocturnal) - bloom mainly in the second half of the day and remain open all night;
  • daytime (Diurnal) - bloom in the morning and bloom until evening, one-day;
  • long-flowering (Extended flowering) - after opening, the flower pleases the eye for 15-16 hours, regardless of the time of day.
  1. Aroma. Any flowering plant has a scent and the daylily is no exception. And yet there are varieties that have absolutely no aroma or those in which it is weakly expressed, but the gardener's dream is those that, in addition to beauty, enchant and captivate with aroma.
  2. The size of the flower, depending on which the varieties of daylilies are divided into three groups:
  • miniature (Miniature), where the flower diameter does not exceed 7.5 centimeters;
  • small-flowered (Small), with a flower diameter from 7.5 to 11.5 cm centimeters;
  • large-flowered (Large) - a flower with a diameter of 11.5 centimeters.
  1. The height and branching of the peduncle, where it is not complete without dwarfs and giants. Depending on the height, daylilies are divided into four types:
  • low - not reaching 30 cm;
  • medium-sized - with a height of 30 to 60 cm;
  • semi-high - where the peduncle has a height of 60 to 90 cm;
  • very high - from 90 cm and above.

Of no small importance for the beauty of the shrub is the branching of the peduncle, in which the total number of buds can reach 40. With the simultaneous disclosure of several flowers, the bush will delight with abundant and long flowering.

  1. The color of the daylily brings bright colors to the flower garden, especially in cloudy weather, where they appear most clearly. All kinds of colors, shades and spraying do not leave indifferent lovers of this type of plant and inspire breeders to develop all new varieties.
