Lilies - the best companions for daylilies in the garden
Growing lilies in the garden - the best companions for lilies and other daylily
Lily at the time of flowering - an unforgettable sight. It is always a bright spectacular picture, attracting the eyes of even the most indifferent passerby. The background on which an exquisite flower will flaunt is important, so try to pick lilies worthy of neighbors.
Lilies grow and bloom very well when they have "legs in the shade and their heads in the sun." “Bouquet” plantings of lilies of the same species or variety are considered classic in groups of 3-5–9 (depending on the size of the plot and the plants themselves) against shrubs, tall grasses, dull walls, and vertical gardening. Advantageous is the addition of varieties with flowers of the same color, but with the peculiarities of coloring, or terry. For example, a group of yellow-flowered Asian hybrids is diversified by 'Sun Ray', 'Wizard', 'Fata Morgana', the beauty of white-flowered flowers is underlined by 'Centerfold', `White Pixel` (` White Pixel`), two-tone `Sorbet` (` Sorbet`) and `Lollipop` (` Lollypop`).

Traditionally, a padding of low- or medium-sized herbaceous plants is used, which obscure the lower part of the stems of the lilies, preventing the soil from overheating in the sun and drying up. It can be daisies, hosts, astilbe, species daylilies, bells, nivian (white daisy), any summer. Sometimes use of stunted conifers, for example, horizontal forms of juniper. When choosing neighbors, be sure to consider the color gamut and height of plants.
Pink and white-pink varieties of lilies go well with purple bells and flax purple-flowered, with penstemon and sedum padding. More complex options are also possible - purple leaf heicher (more about growing heicher here) and ornamental cabbage, blue cornflowers and violets, golden satin.
White lilies perfectly framed by the blue inflorescence of veronica, delicate hypsophyles and white petunia petunias, white lupine candles, carved greens of black cherry, nivian, yellow medium-sized rudbeckies, white or blue lobels suitable for padding in containers.
Yellow Lilies are combined with high inflorescences of lysimchyas, bunches of spindles and spindle leaves, yellow low daylilies, fancy bluehead, blue cornflowers, bells, lupines against the background of majestic delphiniums, bright eshollations and solar centers of Nivianica.
Lilies look beautiful and "unaccompanied" by themselves. For the foregrounds, low varieties with compact inflorescences are more suitable, in the depths of the composition it is better to place plants with spreading inflorescences and flowers of any shape, for background plantings you can use tall plants with inclined flowers. Many species and varieties have a strong aroma that can spread over long distances in calm weather, so it is advisable to plant varieties without smell near open windows or places of rest in the garden.

Tell me, please, what are the differences between lilies and daylilies? How not to go wrong with planting material? I want to plant my mother's favorite lilies in autumn.

Lilies belong to the onion plants of the family Liliaceae. Their bulbs consist of individual succulent scales, more or less densely adjacent to each other. From the bottom part of the bulb roots go, sometimes the supra-roots roots are formed. The leaves of the lilies grow on stems. Daylilies - rhizome perennials with cord-like subordinate roots. Their leaves are longer than the lilies. They grow from the roots, so the bush resembles a fountain. Almost the naked peduncles tower above the leaves. In this case, each flower of the daylily blooms only one day.
Planting bulbs of lilies is best at the end of vegetation, in northern regions of Russia - in August or early September. They should be dense, without rotten scales and traces of mold, with living roots of at least 5 cm. Sometimes in the autumn bulbs are sold with sprouts, but such a planting material should not be bought. But the bulb of lilies, coming on sale from February to March (by the way, at this time the biggest choice), just and should be with sprouts (preferably small).
If you bought lilies in the spring, store them before planting in the open ground (late April - May) in perforated plastic bags with dry peat in the bottom compartment of the refrigerator. If the sprouts of the lilies are long, you can immediately plant the bulbs in pots and keep them in the room on a light sill. Lilies planted in March will blossom in June. After flowering, they are kept in a room or on a balcony (the ovaries are cut off, the leaves are preserved), and in the autumn they are transplanted into the garden.
Growing lilies is easiest to start with Asian hybrids - they are the most unpretentious.
If you are interested in daylilies, then know that the best time to plant them is May. However, the planting material is often sold in August. At this time, you can also land, given that it takes about a month to take root. The diaper of the daylily should consist of 1-3 sockets, leaves and a good lobe of roots.

They look like a name and a few flowers. A differ significantly.
Lilies carry flowers on a leafy stalk (this type of leaf arrangement people call "-elochka"), one or several of them. The daylily first lets out a bundle of belt-like leaves, and then long, naked flower stalks.
Lily winters at the expense of a scaly bulb, the daylily - with the help of a root crop. resembling those of dahlias. Neither the others nor digging for the winter is not necessary.
Daylilies are easier to care for than lilies, and start standing with them. Those and other varieties are hundreds! And the features of culture you can easily find in the specialized literature.
