The species plants are the ones found in the wild. We detail them in the section Daylily Types. They are very hardy, bloom profusely and can frequently be used as part of an overall display. The only one we recommend not ever being used is the H fulva Europa, the common daylily, it is an invasive weed. As such it is fine for filling in barren spots. We used it to fill in hill sides and swamp areas. It takes flooding and drought, it takes foot traffic, and it seems to propagate better than crabgrass. So beware. We have spent many days this summer of 2007 digging out the old Europas from twenty years ago. The Table below is a summary of the species we have been growing. Again beware that there is a great deal of variability within species and sometimes even less across the species. They cross hybridize an one may not have the exact species as in nature. This table has been prepared from what we have in the summer of 2007 and one should consider it a work in progress. Plodek's site has a great deal of detail and he has on that site a paper in seed pod comparison. We have found that the pods vary from location to location and from season to season on the same plant. There are certain "tell-tale" signs but try not to look for distinct differences.
