| Foliage habit: | ||
| EV = Evergreen | SEV = Semi-Evergreen | DOR = Dormant (over winter) |

Clarification re Foliage habit: I should explain here that I personally find some plants listed as semi-evergreen always stay evergreen here in a warmer climate. Dormant varieties flower and do much better in colder areas. I am frequently asked if daylilies are affected by frost: the answer is no, in areas where it snows they happily spend winter under the snow. Flowering season in my area of Western Australia is from October to April, however it varies in different parts of Australia and even within our own state . |
