There are fanatics out there breeding and hybridizing daylilies, so you’ll find thousands of named cultivars. The best-known variety is the old-fashioned foundation lily, a bright orange. But daylilies come in various pastels, some with dark eyes, others with ruffled edges. Some are early bloomers, some bloom late into the fall. Some flower scapes (leafless stems) are under 1 foot high, most are 18 to 30 inches, and a few reach 6 feet.

Perennial bachelor buttons (Centaurea montana): Spidery blue 2-inch blossoms on 18-inch stems appear in early summer, but if you cut them back—or pick the blossoms for vases—the plants might rebloom for you. And they may self-seed, appearing where you didn’t plant them. It’s a fairly drought-tolerant plant.
