We are very pleased to introduce this Hemerocallis, which has been named by us as it's real name is unknown. It was given to us by a local customer who tells us:

"This plant has been flowering in Buckingham every year since the 1890’s... I first came across it outside Herring the Saddlers shop in the Bullring. When we married we came to live beside the Herrings, and Mr Herring who was a very keen gardener very kindly dug me up a bit - the size of a dustbin lid - appeared on the doorste. I planted it, it has flowered every year here ever since. He said his grandfather planted it in the 1890’s."

It blooms from mid to late summer. As the name suggests, each flower lasts just one day. It will grow into a good sized clump but is not invasive and is perfect for the middle of a border.

The name "hemerocallis" is derived from the Greek words for "day" and "beautiful," referring to the individual flowers lasting for about 24 hours.
