What kind of Grass is this Does it make flowers?

Hello
I walked down our service drive past a empty plot in Vancouver Canada.
The house has demolished etc..no walls and there were nice yellow greenish grass growing not far from the water catch next to the road that I have been watching growing since the snow is gone.
It probably was part of a garden as one patch is in a circle the other more linear
I dug some out and would like to know does it like shade or sun as I dont know before it may have been close to the garden wall
The roots were quite thick and seem to have small many bulbs strong tight together
It probably multiplies.
(There is some of it left I would love to get if it can go into semi shade or full shade also)
Thanks for any help.
Bye4now

 

All grasses flower. These, however are daylilies.

 

waouhhh that was fast... Can I put them in full sunshine or along the Juniper semi shade or under a leafy tree 100% shade? Thank you

 

Full sun. Just getting started, will grow much bigger than now as season progresses.

 

although they do better in full sun, you can put them in a partially shaded area as long as the spot gets sun for part of the day (as that helps them to bloom better/more).

the leaves will have a spread of about two feet, so keep that in mind when replanting.

 

If these are the common Hemerocallis fulva they will get much bigger than that when fully developed.

 

Indeed. They will also spread vigorously from year to year -- though not to the point of becoming weedy -- and the bloom will be a tawny orange that does not always blend well with other colors in the garden.

Those things having been said, this is an absolutely bullet-proof plant that will look pretty good and healthy anywhere -- though as Ron and joclyn note, you do need sun for good flowering.

 

So when I replant do I devide them ONE by ONE or can I put some clumps with say 10-20 plants.. I dont mind them spreading
I thought they would look nice along a gravel wall devided up all the way long a terraced
garden..
We are 30steps up to our house full SOUTH and nothing much grows there now beside juniper on small gravel covered earth.
The juniper is back like 2 yards away and St.Johns Ward..spreading..
I'd love a no nonsense multiplier like this
So to make the most of it shall I cut them into many and plant every 20cm ?
Thank you..

 

With this plant, you can do almost anything -- split the clumps up into small pieces, or keep them together, or anything in between.

One thing to remember is that, the more you disrupt the root structure of the plant (for instance by pulling it apart into many smaller clumps) the more time the plant will need to grow new roots and settle into its new home before it starts blooming and growing vigorously. This is no big deal -- it doesn't mean you've seriously hurt the plant or anything -- but you may need to allow this first summer for the plant to get itself settled in. You'll also want to water a bit more frequently this year. From then on, it's off to the races, and the daylily will need very little attention.

 

The flowers will be tawny if it is in fact Hemerocallis fulva. While this seems likely there are also tens of thousands of daylily cultivars in cultivation.
