Siloam Little Girl Daylily

Hemerocallis 'Siloam Little Girl'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial

Plant Family: Liliaceae

Plant Description: Tall herbaceous perennial with 4" pink summer-blooming flowers with rose eyes. Foliage is long and drooping with grasslike blades about 1 inch wide. Easily grown in a wide range of conditions. As suggested by the name, flowers last one day but are produced over a long period of time. Divide every 3-5 years to maintain vigor.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous

Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.

Garden Staff Tips & Insights:

Edibility notes; Daylilies have a long history of culinary use in Chinese cuisine. Flower buds are stuffed, stir-fried, or dried and cooked into soups. Open blossoms can be fried or added to salads. Tubers can be cooked similar to potatoes. The young shoots are also edible and can be used similar to asparagus.
