C daylilies 2024
Comments (24)There are a few advantages to growing in containers. We too had a drought during the last half of the season. However the daylilies seemed unaffected ( unlike the gardener who was seen lugging the hose around to each pot at least once (sometimes twice) every day).......Nan: I could see Chitty Chitty Fang Fang in my collection of yellows. A pretty shade of yellow...Kate: So glad you feel up to posting a few. I like your Cloud of Witnessess by Emmerich and both you and Mantis have one I've considered off and on over the years in Creature of The Night. I have heard elsewhere though that the scapes aren't the strongest out there........Debra: Clarification looks so very tempting. Does the base color fade out or is it the pale lavender that shows in your pictures....Brad: We are all agreed I think on your Carmen Renee, but I also like Chance Encounter. I bet Stamile's do well for you in your zone. Christopher Russell looks good too......David: I'm not much on whites or the daylily equivalent of white, but I've always liked your Caribbean Whipped Cream. It's on my "if I had room" list......Mantis: for me the 2 standouts today are Crystal Castles and In Living Color. Considering your comment about Hanson generalizing about dor vs sev now days, I can give more consideration to nice ones like this....Maryl...See MoreD daylilies 2024
Comments (16)Nan - It is a shame Dearest Mahogany is such a dud in hybridizing. It blooms ML here, and by then it's usually too hot for pods for set. It might work better grown in a greenhouse. The club member that I split my win of Dearest Mahogany with reported that it didn't make it through the first winter in her garden. I hope Dearest Valentine will bloom well for you next year. Deeds Not Words surprised me by how well it did in its first year to bloom. I look forward to seeing how it does in 2024, I'm always tempted when I see Desire of Nations. But I do have one of its children to use in hybridizing, so I'll pass on it. Some of the Emmerichs are slow to multiply here. Kingdom Without End and Forty Days and Forty NIghts have always been slow multipliers. Debra...See MoreI daylilies 2024
Comments (14)I think I will join the rest of the country today as I think our high will be 10 degrees with wind chills zero to minus 10. Great day to stay inside and get some things done in the house before I settle in to watch my favorite football team, the Baltimore Ravens take on the Houston Texans. I will say this, looking at all these daylilies certainly warms me up. I will agree with Mantis that Itza Pink Teddy is a lovely shade of pink. IMPASSIONED is an eye catcher. IRON WARRIOR: A Bennett intro. Tends to be a ML bloomer and more toward the late side. Petals are wide and the color grabs my attention as the other daylilies are winding down it is just starting. It is not in the best place of the garden. I may have to move it to see if it will have better increase. ISABELLE ROSE: Outstanding plant. Love the cascading forms. Well budded and branched as evidenced by all the buds and branching in the background. IMPERIAL DECREE: Good purple from John Benz. Increases well and is pretty sunfast. Clump shot of Imperial Decree INDY SHOCKER: The most difficult daylily in the garden to get an accurate picture of. This is the best picture I have ever gotten that most accurately captures what it looks like in the garden. Not a rapid increaser, but and it is taller than its registered height of 28" as it is usually 32". I am a sucker for the cerise colored daylilies. IT'S THE RAGE: This plant gets better with each passing year. The blooms are bigger and it has more buds and it gets taller. That's it from me. Stay warm and safe everyone.

Comments (12)Night Moves looks like a very rich color. Natty Man makes a nice clump, but wasn't like 2022. I like it a lot. Natalie Antoinette is a reliable Stamile with modest bud count. Flowers are usually perfect. Native Reflection is an attractive purple with eyezone, but catch it before noon. Night Wings was subpar, but I did capture the color quite closely in this pic. New Covenant I fear will be short, but 2023 wasn't a year to judge. Navajo Pony can look good. Neon Flamingo had a subpar year, but did give a good pic. No Boys Allowed is from 2022. Bud count is modest here. This January only one in five days had any sun. And almost half the days had some precipitation. Gloom. But sun is in the forecast for early February....See MoreMaryl (Okla.
