Amur Daylily (Hemerocallis middendorffii) - Description
A native species from far east Russia that lives in its native habitat of meadows, open woods, and slopes. This was originally brought to cultivation for its edible flower pods and blooms in Asia. Real short bloom time of about 2 to three weeks, but may rebloom in the fall. A little more of a shade loving Daylily (but definitely not full shade!), that will naturalize nicely wherever you choose to plant it.
Amur Daylily (Hemerocallis middendorffii) - Blooming
The funnel-shaped blooms last for only one day, but new blooms continue for weeks or months from late spring through the summer. The flowers bloom on tall stalks, starting at the top. When used as cut flowers, a single bloom will fade after one day, but the other buds will flower on subsequent days.

Divide the plants, as cultivars do not come true from seed. When they become overcrowded, begin to flower less, or in the early spring or early fall, you can divide.

Beware slugs and snails which will leave the foliage unsightly. Aphids, thrips, spider mites, and hemerocallis gall midge can also cause problems. In areas with high humidity and temperatures above 90°F (32°C), crown rot becomes a major issue. After a cold winter of freezing and thawing, bacterial leaf and stem rot can occur in the spring.
