Hemerocallis fulva

Hemerocallis fulva is a species of Hemerocallis, native to Asia from the Caucasus east through the Himalaya to China, Japan, Korea, and southeastern Russia.

It is a herbaceous perennial plant growing from a fleshy rhizome with stems 40–150 cm tall. The leaves are linear, 50–90 cm long and 1–2.8 cm broad. The flowers are 5–12 cm across, orange-red, with a pale central line; they are produced from early summer to late autumn on spikes of 10–20, with the individual flowers opening successively, each one only lasting one day. The fruit is a three-valved capsule 2–2.5 cm long and 1.2–1.5 cm broad which splits open at maturity to release the seeds.

Cultivars
Several cultivars are known, including 'Kwanzo', where the stamens are modified into additional petals. 'Kwanzo' is the only known triploid daylily and cannot set seed. It reproduces only by stolons and division. The species H. fulva is diploid, as nearly all daylilies were until tetraploid hybrids began to be produced for their sturdiness in the late 1990s.
