Daylilies
Daylilies (Hemerocallis) are the perfect perennial. Each plant sends up many flower stems, and each stem bears 12 or more buds. The blooms are lavish and continue for several weeks or more on each plant. Trouble-free, maintenance-free, they tolerate most soils and conditions if they get at least 6 hours of sun. Use them in a perennial border, in front of shrubbery, as an edging along a walk or wall, and in your bulb beds, where they hide the ripening foliage of tulips and daffodils. Daylilies are easy to grow; they need dividing only every 10-15 years. Plant 18-24" apart. No. 1 size roots. Hardy in zones 3-9.
