In China, Beijing, Shanghai, Hunan, Heilongjiang, Jiangsu and other provinces and cities have all introduced and cultivated Hemerocallis fulva. Today we will explain the difference between Hemerocallis fulva and daylily (Hemerocallis).
I. The Difference Between Hemerocallis fulva and Daylily (Hemerocallis)
1. Difference in form
Hemerocallis fulva has a lily-shaped corolla and many cultivars. In many cultivars a single flower blooms for only one day, and the flowers basically come in one wave after another, so the peak blooming period can last a long time. The flowers of the daylily (Hemerocallis) are somewhat smaller.
2. Difference in flower color
Hemerocallis fulva has relatively many flower colors, including red, yellow, red as well as pink and white, and the flowers are much larger. The flowers of the daylily (Hemerocallis) are golden yellow, and occasionally orange-red.
3. Difference in blooming period
The daylily (Hemerocallis) has a particularly long blooming period, lasting about half a year from beginning to end. The blooming period of Hemerocallis fulva is from May to September, with the entire blooming period lasting 4 months.
II. Can Daylily (Hemerocallis) Be Eaten?
The daylily (Hemerocallis) has bright flower colors, is easy to cultivate, and sprouts early in spring, with clusters of green leaves that are extremely beautiful. It is grown as an ornamental variety but is toxic, so flowers like the daylily (Hemerocallis) contain toxins. When caring for it, be careful not to eat it by mistake; the toxicity after accidental ingestion is very strong, and this is especially important to note for households with children.
Hemerocallis fulva is planted in clumps, rows or patches in garden flowerbeds, flower borders, roadsides and lawns, and can also be used as a cut flower. Hemerocallis fulva is an excellent material for landscaping.
