Lirio de día anaranjado
Hemerocallis fulva
Una perenne robusta y vigorosa, de porte cespitoso — el clásico "lirio de día leonado" o "lirio de zanja" anaranjado que se ve naturalizado a lo largo de cunetas y antiguas granjas. Cada flor de color anaranjado óxido, en forma de trompeta, se abre durante un solo día, pero los escapos altos y ramificados (hasta 3-6 feet) abren flores frescas en sucesión desde principios hasta mediados de verano, por encima de un follaje arqueado en forma de cinta. Nativa del este de Asia, no de América del Norte; la forma cultivada habitual es un triploide estéril que no produce semilla, pero se extiende agresivamente mediante gruesos rizomas, formando colonias densas. Famosa por ser a prueba de todo y adaptable, pero plántela sabiendo que se expandirá.

Los capullos florales y las flores abiertas se consumen en la cocina del este de Asia (los capullos secos son las "agujas doradas" de la cocina china), lo que la convierte en una planta parcialmente comestible — pero la identificación importa y no toda parte es segura para comer cruda o en cantidad.
Cold hardiness
Future
These values are location-based: this location's current hardiness is the baseline, and the 2050 value is a projected future climate for this same location.

Well-suited
2050
Zone 7a
Plotwright
Projected zone for this same location in 2050 (2041-2070) using SSP3-7.0 (regional rivalry).
Well-suited
In plain terms: This location is in Zone 6b today. Its hardiness profile is cold winters, and coldest nights are typically around -3°F. By 2050, the projected hardiness zone is Zone 7a based on SSP3-7.0 (regional rivalry). That is a +0.5-zone shift from Zone 6b to Zone 7a by 2050.
✓
Well-suited today and still thriving in 2050.
Heat tolerance
Future
Heat tolerance values are location-based too: heat days today are observed at this site, and the 2050 value projects this same location under a future climate.
