Help me please to find the name

[April Manier]

You can go buy day lily bulbs in your home and garden store IN JUNE that are in bloom. You can try looking at that time if you are really particular and unsure of the name.

Otherwise, if you look at the packages on the bulbs, you are likely to find it.

I love day lilies too. When I lived in Kentucky they would naturalize in "hollers" where it was wet. in late spring I was in awe of the color that started and lasted as long as the water did. There aren't tons of varieties and you should be able to find the one you want.

I have seen the native daylily available in catalogs. You just have to look around.
I dug mine up at my parents, when I was in NY last time. I am so glad it keeps growing every year.

I don't believe it is a "native," Denise - if that is a Hemerocallis fulva . . .

USDA Plants Database lists it as an invasive. I have been a little confused since I've never seen it in the wild here. It does grow around some old homes.

There is a cultivar:Kwanso. Old House Gardens considers it an "heirloom" but that might just mean - "inclined to be invasive;" depending on your part of the world.

I've noticed that in Oklahoma and several other places. When you see daylillies apparently growing wild look around a little. You'll almost always find an old foundation or other indication that someone lived there in the past.
