Lirio de un día

Hemerocallis (hybrid)
Perenne herbácea robusta, formadora de grupos, cuyo nombre común hace referencia a su hábito de floración: cada flor se abre durante un solo día, pero un escapo con muchos botones abre flores frescas en sucesión durante semanas. Los lirios de un día de jardín modernos son abrumadoramente híbridos, con más de 60,000 cultivares registrados, en prácticamente todos los colores excepto el azul verdadero. Los clásicos de tamaño completo como 'Hyperion' llevan flores fragantes de 4-inch en escapos desnudos que se elevan a unos 3 feet por encima del follaje arqueado en forma de hoja; las plantas toleran conejos, la erosión y las condiciones urbanas y exigen muy poco una vez establecidas.

Las flores y botones de Hemerocallis (lirio de un día verdadero) se consumen en la cocina del este asiático, pero la comestibilidad depende del cultivar y se confunde fácilmente con especies tóxicas de aspecto similar, y los lirios de un día son seriamente tóxicos para los gatos.

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.
Now
Zone 6b
USDA
Published baseline for this location from 1991-2020.

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.
