Near old neglected New England homesteads, you'll often see daylilies. 150 years after planting, daylilies are still growing on the site. Ease of Increase   Anyone can propagate daylilies, allowing additional plants to be produced for your garden. Trouble free   Daylilies are low maintenance plants and easy to grow. Few pests bother them. Resilience   Because of their amazing root structure and winter dormancy, they are forgiving growers even in the most adverse conditions. Adaptability   Daylilies thrive in moist conditions, yet they are ranked as one of top five drought resistant plants. Daylilies bloom best in full sun but will perform well in partly sunny locations as well. With no particular preference for soil type or pH, daylilies will grow virtually anywhere you plant them.
