Garden of Hemerocallis Fulva

Hemerocallis fulva is a collective term for eleven categories of plants with vibrant and graceful flowers. As a traditional courtyard flower in China, Hemerocallis fulva has accumulated rich symbolic meanings throughout its long history. It represents forgetfulness for worries, auspiciousness for boys, and association with motherhood. The Garden currently cultivates the yellow daylily, a representative variety of Hemerocallis fulva and one of the traditional Chinese vegetables. Yellow daylilies have a wide adaptability and can withstand drought. They have less stringent requirements for soil and water. Their well-developed root systems help with soil retention and water conservation. Yellow daylilies are sensitive to airborne fluoride pollution, and their leaves change from green to brown, serving as a warning when the air is contaminated. They have significant medicinal value, such as improving brain function, enhancing vision, reducing serum cholesterol levels, and their high iron content is effective for blood supplementation and hemostasis.
