Abstract
Plants, both ornamental and medicinal, have been used for a variety of purposes for millennia. Ornamental plants may benefit the environment, the economy, and people's lifestyles in a variety of ways. Despite the growing popularity of aesthetic plants, some are grown for medical purposes because they contain a variety of bioactive components such as phenolic compounds, carotenoids, antioxidants, essential oils, and other secondary metabolites. A daylily, often known as a day lily, is a flowering plant in the genus Hemerocallis, which belongs to the Asphodelaceae family. Daylilies are perennial plants whose name refers to the short lifespan of their blossoms. The gorgeous flowers and hardiness of many varieties make this species popular all throughout the world.In this study, the plant species was identified by molecular tools (18s rDNA), the total physiological parameters were measured, the fractions were identified using liquid chromatography - mass spectroscopy LC-MS, and the antimicrobial activity were evaluated resulting in 7 fractions. All the defined compounds were proved to have many activities Hemerocallis. These compounds were used for treatment of many diseases and in traditions applications.
