Daylily Outer Limits

Hemerocallis Outer Limits is an extraordinary perennial. Possibly the best introduction of James Gossard (USA). The base of the flowers is yellow, while half of each petal is red. Daylily Outer Limits simply has the biggest edge you have ever seen. It has been a tremendous parent; it is producing better huge tooth-edged progeny than itself. Outer Limits was a break-through in the edge breeding program of J. Gossard. This perennial attracted daylily enthusiasts right after it was first offered on the market and has become a dream for many gardeners. One of the best daylilies registered in recent years. Still a very rare perennial in private gardens.

How to grow daylilies

Reserve full sunlight or light shade area in your garden to plant daylilies. Daylilies like sunshine so much but be careful, in hot areas, they do not grow well in completely dry soil on sunny place. Daylilies also like an average amount of moisture in the soil but will not be happy in soils that are water logged. Give them water regularly during their first one or two growing seasons. Their flowers will be larger and will bloom richer if regularly watered in the first part of the season.

When in bloom, feel free to cut the flowers for bouquets or even decorating of salads (as the flowers are edible). This will not injure your plants. While each flower blooms only a single day, choose stems with several larger buds.

After blooming has finished, leave the foliage in place, don't cut it off. The leaves will gather sunlight and will provide nourishment for the next year's show. Your daylilies will need rest for a few months, before beginning the next growing season.
