| The common single flowered "ditch lily" is Hemerocallis fulva 'Europa' and this is the plant that is usually referred to as a "ditch lily". Hemerocallis fulva 'Kwanso' is a double flowered daylily. Both are triploids while most daylilies are diploid or tetraploid. 'Europa' can rarely set seeds but mostly spreads by rhizomes. 'Kwanso' typically does not have normal female parts therefore it cannot produce seeds in any case, and it too spreads by rhizomes. There are other Hemerocallis fulva daylilies that are diploid, however, but those would only be encountered in garden collections and not in ditches. |

| Sometimes the area you live in can slow the growth of a plant. The soil could be not right, the sun could be different, daylilies of the native varieties are a great deal like a grass. Sometimes disturbing them makes them grow faster, sometimes the colonies they make slow them down. Many things could control their growth speed. |
