Daylily, whose scientific name is daylily, also known as forget-worry grass and goldenrod, is a plant with both medicinal and edible value. It is highly drought tolerant, does not pick terrain, has a short production cycle and a long harvest time, and is an ideal crop for one-time planting and multi-year picking. Ripe daylily can be sold fresh or made into dry goods, and the market demand is strong. In particular, daylily picking is done before it blooms, when the nutritional value is highest and consumers love.

It is understood that this year, with the increase in market demand, the purchase price of fresh daylily has increased significantly compared with last year, with a minimum of 2 yuan per catty and a yield of more than 2,000 catties per mu. This news has greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of farmers, and they have expressed their desire to seize the opportunity to expand the scale of planting and strive for greater profits.
