Common name: Daylily, Kokomo Sunset Daylily

Family: Asphodelaceae (Grass-tree Family)

Distribution: Asia

Life form: Perennial plant

Comments: Daylilies are amazingly low-mainentance and capable of surviving extended drought, though they look better with some supplemental watering in drought. They have a grass-like appearance that adds interesting texture to gardens but produce colorful blooms in summer.
With hundreds of registered cultivars, daylilies are available in many different sizes with a myriad of flower shapes, patterns and colors. Each flower only lasts a single day, but are produced daily for many weeks. Some cultivars are “reblooming” and keep producing blooms all summer.
