Dont think daylilies grow in the tropics? Look at this picture of a mass of Hemerocallis growing in a park in Brazil. It looks to be some cultivar as it doesn’t look like any known species.

There are a number of daylily farms in Taiwan. The flowers and possibly the buds are harvested for food. Hualien County i Taiwan is well known for its large daylily fields.

Liushidan Mountain(Sixty Stone Mountain) is located to the east of Zhutian Village, Fuli Township, in Hualien County. It is situated at an elevation of around 800 meters above sea level, in the Coastal Mountain Range. There is a daylily field of 300 hectares in size, and along with Chihke Mountain, this is regarded as one of Hualien County’s two large daylily cultivation areas.

As daylilies begin to grow in the spring, their foliage exhibits distinct traits. Variations in foliage color, growth habit and width are all evident. Hemerocallis citrina species generally have large mounding clumps with exceptionally tall foliage. Hemerocallis fulva can produce large strap-like leaves 3″ wide.

Hemerocallidaceae is the botanical name of a family of flowering plants. The family name is derived from the name of the included genus Hemerocallis. The placement of the included genera, and the circumscription of the family, have varied. The Cronquist system does not recognize the family and includes Hemerocallis in Liliaceae. The APG II system includes the family in Xanthorrhoeaceae, in the order Asparagales in the monocots clade, but allows for its optional segregation as a monophyletic family. Among the best-known members are two popular genera of garden plants, the daylilies (Hemerocallis) and New Zealand flax (Phormium).

According to the Angiosperm Phylogeny website, the family includes the following genera:

Agrostocrinum F.Muell.
Dianella Lam.
Eccremis Baker
Hemerocallis L.
Phormium J.R.Forst. & G.Forst.
Stypandra R.Br.
Thelionema R.J.F.Hend.
Xeronema Brongn. & Gris
