Plant of the Week – Daylilies

Eagleson Landscape's Plant of the Week: Daylilies

Daylilies are beautiful, bodacious and downright breathtaking perennials that bloom throughout the growing season in Indiana. With 35,000 different cultivars, these plants can be found in a rainbow of colors and just about any size. Their diversity makes them fun to collect and mix together in a landscape. In fact, they have been a family favorite since the very creation of Eagleson Landscape Co!  Frequent visits to nurseries looking for a new, unique variety we could enjoy is something that brought us all together many a weekend.  We recommend immersing yourself in your local nursery or visiting botanic gardens like the Chicago Botanic Garden to find the plant life you most enjoy for your garden. You will enjoy your new landscape all the more for it!

Low overall maintenance and its adaptability to survive in any landscape make this a high recommendation for many landscapes we install.
