Hemerocallis fulva aka Orange Daylily

Hemerocallis fulva, also known as the orange day-lily, tawny daylily, corn lily, tiger daylily, fulvous daylily, ditch lily, Fourth of July lily, railroad daylily, roadside daylily, outhouse lily, and wash-house lily, is a species of daylily native to Asia. While not a true lily in the Lilium genus, it gets its name from the similarity of its flowers and the fact that each bloom lasts only a day. Despite this, growing daylilies has been a beloved pastime for centuries, with approximately 35,000 hybrids to choose from and new varieties emerging every year. These hardy plants are easy to care for and some even thrive on neglect. While older, traditional plants die back in winter, there are now semi- and evergreen varieties available. A mature clump of daylilies can produce 200-400 blooms over the course of a month or more. The orange daylily is a popular houseplant that should be placed less than 1 foot from a window to receive long-lasting, direct light and regular watering to thrive.
