Two young plants arrived with 2 leaves. Planted in a field of plants on 22nd March, they seem to be thriving currently. I have just discovered a new shoot next to each one. I am eagerly awaiting the flowering to see if the colour of the flowers matches.

Description

The Daylily 'Joan Senior' unfolds its large flowers early in the season. They are white-washed with cream and delicately undulated, with a lime green throat. The flowering is repeat flowering and has often been awarded in competitions. Its foliage is deciduous, and its growth vigorous.

The genus Hemerocallis belongs to the Liliaceae family. They are perennial and hardy plants with deciduous or semi-evergreen foliage. The variety 'Joan Senior' forms a clump that will reach 65 cm (26in) in height, with a spreading of 60 cm (24in) or more if the ground suits it. The large individual flowers, with undulated and recurved petals, measure about 15 cm (6in) in diameter. They last only a day but continuously repeat flowers on sturdy stems above dense linear foliage. The flowering can last from early summer to autumn. Daylilies are plants with short rhizomes and fleshy roots.

 

These plants are easy to grow and thrive in shade and sun. Some can be invasive, so don't hesitate to divide the clumps every four or five years, preferably in autumn, after flowering. Daylilies are often called "the perfect perennial" due to their vibrant colours and ability to tolerate any environment, but also because of their lack of modesty; they are beautifully exuberant and blend well with other perennials. Plant them in generous clumps at the back of your flower beds. All summer bulb flowers can be planted alongside daylilies. Gladioli find excellent natural support in this dense plant, so staking is no longer necessary. The same goes for lilies, whose subtly shaped flowers are enhanced here. Of course, all garden plants are welcome, especially gaillardias, lychnis, bee balm, goldenrod, phlox... Also consider grasses, with their flexible and light habit. Large pots of at least 30 cm (12in) deep on a balcony or patio should be provided, as well as dwarf varieties. The flowers are edible: they brighten up salads and decorate desserts.

Planting and care

Plant your Hemerocallis 'Joan Senior' in well-draining garden soil that is not too clayey and enriched with humus and compost. This will allow your perennial to withstand summer droughts and winter frosts. This variety is easy to grow and not susceptible to pests or diseases, so no treatment is required, and rodents are not attracted to it. Daylilies can grow both in partial shade and full sun, with 4 to 5 hours of daily sunlight sufficient—plant by burying the base 3 to 4 cm (1 to 2in) below the surface. If planting multiple plants, ensure enough space between them, as the spaces will quickly fill up. For a few weeks after planting, ensure the soil is moderately moist, but do not overwater. It is advisable to divide the plants, preferably in autumn after flowering.
