Label daylilies, Hemerocallis garden markers

Daylily (Hemerocallis)

With their gorgeous, lasting blooms and ease in growing, it is no wonder that daylilies are such popular perennials. Over 50,000 daylily cultivars are available and there is a constant stream of new hybrids, making them the perfect plant species for collections. Marking or labeling daylilies can be a worthwhile investment for daylily collectors due to the time and energy spent amassing the collection in the first place. Plus, if you divide your daylilies to sell or trade, it is critical to have the plant cultivar's name (as well as other information) readily available.

The following are resources to assist you in creating labels and engravings for your daylilies:
