| History | The original species of cultivated daylily is native to China and considered an edible food crop more than a garden flower. Cultivation in the west began after French botanist wrote of them in 1575 but it was not until the 20th century that real daylily breeding began by Stout in North Carolina. Since his discovery of how to cross pollinate flowers, an explosion of new hybrids have ensued. This is a contemporary Monrovia introduction. |
