Daylilies are classic, extremely popular garden plants. They feature long, arching, strappy leaves and long stems of generally 6-petaled flowers, though double flowers are popular as well. Each flower lasts only one day, hence the plant’s common name. Daylilies come in a wide range of colors, from cream and cheery yellow to peach, orange, fiery red, deep burgundy, pink, and purple. Some have contrasting throats and "eye-zones." Daylilies are ideal for a mixed herbaceous perennial border.

Heucheras have undergone a breeding revolution in the last decade, with dozens of new cultivars appearing in many combinations of foliage color. While all are pleasing foliage plants, the lighter-colored varieties, with leaves in the amber-to-gold range, seem better adapted to shade. The most popular of these shade-loving varieties is Dolce® Key Lime Pie, with bright gold–chartreuse leaves. This evergreen gem prefers excellent drainage and will light up a dark, shady area.
