altissima daylily Learn about Hemerocallis altissima 'Flyover' | Flyover Tall DaylilyHemerocallis altissima is a little known daylily species that hails from southwest China near the famed Purple Mountain. From June through August, this deciduous nocturnal daylily produces 2' tall grass like foliage topped with 5. 5' tall flower spikes whose fragrant, pure yellow flowers open in the evening and remain open until the following morning. Unfortunately, most plants sold as Hemerocallis altissima are actually Hemerocallis 'Autumn Minaret'

Hemerocallis altissima is a little-known daylily species that hails from southwest China near the famed Purple Mountain. From June through August, this deciduous nocturnal daylily produces 2' tall grass-like foliage topped with 5.5' tall flower spikes whose fragrant, pure yellow flowers open in the evening and remain open until the following morning. Unfortunately, most plants sold as Hemerocallis altissima are actually Hemerocallis 'Autumn Minaret' (brown blush on the inside petals)...a wonderful, but early Hemerocallis altissima hybrid from the late Dr. Stout. We obtained this wild-collected Hemerocallis altissima clone many years ago from the New York Botanical Garden and have added a cultivar name to distinguish it from the species imposters.

Maintenance:
Hemerocallis, daylilies, are quite low maintenance; yet they benefit from a few properly timed tidying-ups that are simple and quickly accomplished. It helps to understand their normal life cycle: New daylily foliage is produced after winter gives way to spring. It is at this time quite clean and fresh and lovely. Yet it often becomes shabby by bloom time, it has worked so hard to produce all of its flowers. As the floral display is winding down the plant starts to put up a whole new flush of foliage. The flawless fresh new foliage might go unnoticed by the unobservant gardener but it is produced nevertheless. If at this point the whole plant is cut back hard, either to the ground or to several inches tall, not only will all of the spent flower stalks be removed but so too spring's now shabby foliage. What one is left with is clean foliage for the remainder of the growing season. And the process of cutting it back takes only a few minutes at most per plant.

Another time to cut daylily foliage down is after frost has killed the foliage. It has often been observed that this foliage will harbor aphids over winter if not removed. In mild-winter areas the daylilies described as evergreen might produce foliage during every mild spell. One needs to periodically check for aphids.

Growing Conditions:

Hemerocallis, Daylilies, are almost fool proof. They will thrive with full sun all day long yet still bloom most satisfactorily with fewer hours provided they have at least 6 hours of full sun. They tolerate a wide range of soil types and conditions including damp soil and briefly soggy soil. They will survive dry spells though they will not perform in chronically dry sites.

Garden Value:

The floral display of Hemerocallis is big and bold and bright. Individual cultivars are often in bloom for many weeks or even months. Cultivars are available from spring blooming ones to ones that bloom into late summer and even early fall. The peak bloom season is summer. Selecting cultivars that bloom at various times one can have daylilies in bloom for 5 to 6 months of the year.

Night blooming daylilies such as this one add excitement to the night garden. Plant where they can be enjoyed in the evening such as a patio.

Natural Impact:

Daylily flowers are occasionally visited by pollinators. The wild species of daylilies, some of which are the parents of the garden hybrids, are more likely to be utilized by pollinators.

Nomenclature:

The name Hemerocallis comes from the Greek hemera, “day" and kallos, “beauty" for though they produce a long succession of flowers, each individual flower lasts only one day.

Favorite pillows
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
These pillows are amazing! They are huge and plush but you can change that if you prefer. I really like that the outside cover can be washed and is also filled. It held up great in the washer and dryer. I just followed the directions on the tag. Great price for the quality and look very nice and fluffed on the bed.

Good option
Color: White, Size: Body(Pack of 1)
I’ve been using the ACCURATEX Full Body Pillow for Adults – Hybrid Shredded Memory Foam for a few weeks now, and overall I’m really happy with it. The blend of shredded memory foam gives it a firm, supportive feel, but what I love most is that you can adjust the filling to get the exact firmness you want. Whether you prefer something more structured or slightly softer, it’s easy to customize by adding or removing foam. Comfort-wise, it’s definitely a step up from standard body pillows. It keeps its shape throughout the night and offers great support for side sleeping. That said, it is a bit firmer out of the box than I expected, which is why I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5. If you’re looking for a body pillow that won’t go flat and lets you tweak the feel to your liking, this one is a solid choice.

Favorite pillow!!
Color: White, Size: Body(Pack of 1)
I honestly wasn’t expecting to love this pillow as much as I do. Buying pillows online always feels risky because you can’t actually feel them beforehand, but this ended up being one of the best blind buys I’ve made on Amazon. The quality is genuinely shocking for the price. It feels way more expensive than it is. It’s insanely comfortable, supportive without feeling stiff, and just has that “perfect” cozy feel. I have neck problems, so I’m really picky about pillows, and this one somehow manages to be the perfect balance. It’s supportive without being stiff or overstuffed, but also not too flat where your neck feels unsupported. It has that perfect “sink in but still supportive” feel that’s hard to find. I loved the body pillow version so much that less than a week later I’m already ordering the regular pillow version too. Easily 5 stars from me!!

Probably going to replace all the pillows in the house with these
Color: White, Size: King (Pack of 2)
These pillows are just about perfect. They have to be the best pillow for the money out there at least. I didn't even know that this kind of pillow existed but was asking Google Gemini what kind of pillow would best suit my list of needs and this is what we came up with. - High loft for comfortable side sleeping, but can be reduced by removing foam to be less high - Gives initially, but stays at that new same thickness throughout the night b/c it's memory foam chunks - Doesn't feel lumpy because it has the 1cm outer pillow layer that covers the memory foam pieces I'm 6/3" 210lbs and after a couple nights of adjusting I found that removing about 1 gallon ziploc of foam chunks from each pillow was about perfect. I saved the foam in ziplocs in case I change my mind. They come REALLY loaded at first so should fit literally anyone with some adjusting. It was definitely too big the first two nights until I got it just right.

Hard As Rock When Cold
Color: White, Size: Standard (Pack of 2)
These are good pillows except they get hard as a rock when the temps go below 65F and take 10-20 minutes to warm up at bedtime. Not ideal where the winters are colder or for someone with cervical spine issues.
