The brown daylily is a plant of Asian origin that has been cultivated in Europe for centuries. It is characterized by long, curved leaves and bright brownish-orange flowers that bloom briefly but are constantly replaced by new ones.
In manor gardens, daylilies were planted in mixed flower beds for their exotic appearance and lush foliage.
They became very popular in rural homesteads due to their hardiness and ability to grow almost without care. They were often grown near fences or on the edges of homesteads.
In cities, they are used in parks and roadsides as long-lasting ornamental plants.
Today, the brown daylily remains one of the most reliable traditional flower garden plants.
