Rarely what ornamental plant It can bloom in one place for many years. Daylilies, varieties with photos and names of which are described below, are capable of not only growing, but also blooming luxuriantly, striking each year with their variety of shapes and colors.
Today, tens of thousands of large and miniature varieties are available to gardeners who are passionate about these plants. Large flowers appearing above the foliage illuminate the garden with all shades of yellow and red, pink and lilac, white and deep purple.
Such diversity of daylilies was achieved thanks to complex hybridization using species plants.
Species and hybrid daylilies
It was not the brightest and most spectacular species of plants, even today common in gardens and parks, that became the ancestors of hybrid daylilies, which are much superior to the “natural savages” in the brightness of colors, the duration of flowering and the unexpected forms that, thanks to breeders, flower corollas received.
The most famous and widespread are three species forms. Brown-yellow daylily (Hemerocallis fulva) with pointed linear leaves, growing on sunny areas and in partial shade, forms powerful clumps. Peduncles with orange flowers, regularly swaying on peduncles up to a meter high.
Yellow daylily (Hemerocallis flava) resembles the previous species, but its leaves are more prone to droop as they grow. The corollas of flowers with a diameter of about 10 cm have a sunny yellow color.
Another natural look, which became the ancestor of modern hybrid plants, this is a lemon yellow daylily (Hemerocallis citrine). Plants up to 120 cm high with graceful light yellow or greenish flowers bloom en masse from the second half of summer.
The first cultivated varieties of daylilies were created using intraspecific selection, therefore, while retaining the characteristics of their ancestors, they received larger flowers, spectacular double corollas, began to bloom longer and were less dependent on growing conditions. The names and photos of these varieties of daylilies are still well known to flower growers. But hybrids managed to gain maximum popularity, for which, due to the abundance of shapes, colors and other characteristics, a special classification was developed.
Existing hybrid daylilies are distinguished by flower shape, highlighting:
- simple, closest to natural appearance;
- terry, with a double or triple set of petals;
- arachnids, with elongated petals making the corolla look like an insect;
- unusual or uncertain shape;
- as well as multiforms and polymers, which, based on one or another characteristic, can be classified into several groups at once.
No less important than the shape of the flower, the duration of flowering and the time of its beginning are important for the gardener. Based on this characteristic, plants are divided into several groups from early to very late. There are daylilies that bloom only once a year, but more and more often breeders are introducing hybrid plants in which the formation of buds occurs in waves, several times during the summer. 
Since each daylily corolla lives only for a day, varieties of night-, day-, and long-flowering types are distinguished. Knowing the characteristics of the crop, you can choose varieties for your garden that will make it unique at any time of the day.

Now everyone is carried away by new varieties of daylilies, but I would like to remember the old varieties of daylilies. These varieties have been tested by time and our Moscow region climate. They are completely winter-hardy, resistant to our weather conditions, are not affected by diseases and pests and, what is important, bloom profusely and brightly every year. These varieties reproduce well vegetatively by dividing the bush. At the same time, they fully retain their decorative qualities inherent in the variety. They are unpretentious and easy to care for, but with these advantages they look impressive in flower beds. They make ceremonial flower beds and individual bushes in the garden look very impressive. Of all the old varieties of double daylilies, I prefer two: “Fulva Kwanzo” and “Double River Wye”. Let's remember these varieties and start with the "Fulva Kwanzo" variety.
Daylily "Fulva Kwanzo" has a medium flowering period and blooms in early July for 35-40 days, forming bright orange double flowers with narrow fiery-colored petals and a red eye zone. The diameter of these bright colors 15 cm. On one branched peduncle, 1-3 buds simultaneously bloom with a pleasant, subtle aroma, making the daylily bloom abundantly. The height of the peduncles can reach 85-90 cm. It is dormant and therefore tolerates our Moscow Region winters and long autumns very well.
Daylily "Fulva Kwanzo"
Now let’s remember the daylily variety “Double River Wye”; its average flowering period begins to bloom from the end of July and blooms for almost 2 months, forming light yellow double flowers with a green throat. Up to 20 flower stalks can form on one bush, this creates the effect of endless flowering. The foliage is narrow, bright green in color and perfectly retains its decorative value throughout the season. The height of peduncles can reach 70 -80 cm. It winters well in our climate near Moscow. Always blooms profusely regardless of the severity of winter.
