The daylilies are about to be history.

Yeah, let’s talk flowers. There are several mile markers along the road of summer, and we’ve just passed one. The peak of the tall, orange “common daylily,” as it’s called, marks a very specific time, first blooming in late June and peaking through the backside of July.

These high-growing plants are amazing because they bloom so colorfully and come back year after year with virtually no maintenance.
