Plant Profile: Hemerocallis hybrida

Hemerocallis x hybrida, commonly known as daylily, is a favored perennial that thrives in urban environments. It is often utilized for borders, expansive edgings, or in large group plantings, and can flourish in both sunny and partially shaded locations. For optimal blooming, it prefers full sunlight and well-drained soil with moderate fertility, as overly rich soil can lead to lush foliage with minimal flowering.

This plant offers a diverse array of solid colors and patterns, including various shades of red, pink, yellow, orange, purple, and bicolor options, along with a range of sizes from small to very large. Additionally, it features unique textures such as ruffled, picotee, and 'pie crust' edges.

However, it's important to note that Hemerocallis x hybrida can pose health risks to cats, potentially causing symptoms like vomiting, loss of appetite, lethargy, kidney failure, and even death if ingested.
