There was 1 lonely daylily in our yard when we moved, and I was thinking of adding a couple more. The one I have is about 14" high. Is that shorter than most? Anyway, I'm looking for a variety that is long blooming, but not orange or yellow colored. Any suggestions? Have you heard of purple d'oro and is it any good? I've heard good things about stella d'oro but don't want yellow.
Little wine cup....mine repeat blooms up to the frosts...after saying that, the catalogue says its only supposed to bloom for 2 months, maybe i just got a good 1.....14" i would think is on the shorter side for daylilies.
Below is a link that may help for a couple of non-yellow or non-orange Daylilies. 'Ming Toy' will rebloom for us here. Summer Field Farms Top 10 Daylily Lists Now for some "eye candy" from this link below.. Bloomin Designs Nursery Reblooming Daylilies Jim
There are also everblooming daylilies. A google search will turn up several sites. They come in different heights and some are even fragrant. The Apster collection is a good one to go with too. We planted 'Big Time Happy' and it's a soft yellow and fragrant. Blooms it's head off in my daughter's zone 7 garden. http://www.happyeverappster.com/happy/varieties.asp Newt
Hi, I love daylilies and have them planted in my sunny garden. I do have some in partial sun, under my maple tree. I will post some pics when they bloom, right now they're just sticking out of the soil. They're very hardy and grow almost in any type of soil. Here's a website I could useful. http://www.ianrpubs.unl.edu/epublic/pages/publicationD.jsp?publicationId=204 Happy planting. M
