Andrew Fritz, Urban Conservation Technician Daylily (Hemerocallis spp.) is a non-native plant commonly found within most residential and commercial landscaping here in Hamilton County, Indiana. They are picked for their low-cost, low-care maintenance, conspicuous flower, and ability to create ground cover. However, some daylilies have been known to spread from manicured landscaping into wild areas. If you are looking for native species of landscaping or wildflower plants to replace daylilies, consider some of the following options below. These often are commercially available, grow within similar conditions to daylilies, have a conspicuous flower, and can create good ground cover. Furthermore, they benefit the ecosystem by providing food and shelter for pollinators. To purchase these plants locally or on-line, please visit our “Where to Buy Native Plants” page on our website.
