one day lilies

One day lilies, known botanically as Hemerocallis, are cherished in New Zealand gardens for their reliability, vibrant colours, and ease of care. True to their name, each one day lily flower blooms for just a single day, yet the plant produces so many blossoms throughout the flowering period that your garden is never without a show. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or new to perennials, one day lilies provide an ever-changing tapestry of colour in borders, mass plantings, or pots.

How to Grow and Care for One Day Lilies

Plant one day lilies in full sun or partial shade for the best performance. Choose well-draining soil enriched with organic matter to help your plants establish quickly.

Divide clumps every few years to keep plants vigorous and prevent overcrowding.
