text: With tall flower stems, the Mrs. W.H. Wyman daylily is prized for its clear yellow flowers that are rather late-occurring in midsummer. The daylily is a popular perennial revered for its reliability, ease of growth and floral beauty. The hybrid ‘Mrs. W.H Wyman’ produces large flowers atop a naked, branching stem called a scape. The six tongue-shaped, petal-like tepals have gently wavy edges. These flowers open in the morning and remain open between 16 to 24 hours before shriveling up. They arise from clumps of strappy green leaves that dieback by the start of winter. This daylily was bred by C. & W. Betscher and introduced in 1929.
  Daylilies are clump-forming and spread slowly via rhizomes. The blooms are commonly held in branched clusters on long leafless stems that stand above the foliage. All daylilies are easy to grow if provided full to partial sun and average soil with good drainage. Deciduous daylilies are the hardiest and survive in the coldest reaches of their range; however they may struggle in areas with mild winters. Evergreen types grow well in all but the most tropical regions but require protection where winters are harsh and cold. Their clumps spread over time and may need to be divided every three to four years. After plants bloom, it is wise to shear back their foliage to allow for a fresh flush of growth.
