Easy Plants to grow in your yard



Daylilies

Daylilies are perennial plants. The name Hemerocallis comes from the Greek words ἡμέρα(hēmera) "day" and καλός (kalos) "beautiful". This name alludes to the flowers which typically last no more than 24 hours. The flowers of most species open in early morning and wither during the following night, possibly replaced by another one on the same scape (flower stalk) the next day. 

Daylilies are resistant to insects and disease and can handle hot and cold temperatures. They also do not need lots of watering.
