GRAPEADE DAYLILY

This slightly fragrant variety is a spider with blossoms measuring 6.5 inches.  An early to mid blooming period and is considered a rebloomer, the scapes reach from 24"-36" in height.  I noticed in my research that this one is used quite a bit in hybridizing, I think that's because of both it being a spider and also a rebloomer.  And of course for it's great color!  I don't remember where I purchased this and it was very difficult for me to see where it's available nowadays.  I did find it at keastdaylilygardens.com

Fragrant Treasure Daylily

It's in the title!  A VERY fragrant Daylily.  A smaller 3" to 4.5" pale yellow bloom but it produces many 18-24" scapes over a long period and is considered a rebloomer.  It also blooms into the evening.  This was a bonus plant from one of my sellers but you can find it at www.gemsandstems.ecrater.com and www.dayliliesforsale.com

Cranberry Baby Miniature Daylily

Daylilies with a bloom smaller than 3 inches are considered miniature, Cranberry Baby comes in at approx. 2.75 in.  The scapes stand about 12 in.  This little cutie is a border plant for sure.  I found this at Home Depot or Lowes but it's available at www.oakesdaylilies.com and www.evergreennursery.com.

Kindly Light "Spider" Daylily

   Being a "Spider" flower type for a Daylily means that the petals have to be 5 inches or longer.  Kindly Light hits the 5 inch mark in my garden, but can grow to 7.  Lemon with a hint of green, this photo does the color justice. Blooms actually stay open about 16 hrs. morning to night. The height is 24-36 in. and they bloom midseason.  This is a classic spider which has been around for over 60 years.
Can be found at OakesDaylilies.com and bloomingfieldsfarm.com.

Black Eyed Susan Daylily

  One of my favorites!  4 1/2 - 5 inch blossoms on 24-36 inch scapes.  Some say no fragrance but others say good for attracting butterflies and birds.  Trumper shaped with a very high bud count and is considered a rebloomer.  Can be found at Springhillnursery.com and Brecks.com.

Eruption Daylily

  As you can see in the photo, Eruption is a very large 6.5 to 7" size bloom.  So large and heavy that one of my roommates had to hold them up for this shot!  Cherry red with magenta veins and an impressive yellow green eye makes this one of my favorites.  Many blossoms on up to 36"scapes for a long period of time also makes this variety a smart purchase for any garden.  A mid to late bloomer that is not fragrant nor reblooms can be found at Smokeysdaylilygardens.com, Daylilyandhostagardens.com and Homesteadfarms.com.

Kwanso Daylily

  This Daylily is a very confusing one.  Why, you ask?  Well because if you shop for it at multiple venues you will find that you get conflicting descriptions for it.  Some say it's dormant, others say it's an evergreen.  The difference in it's height can range from 24" all the way to 48".  It's been stated to be an early, midseason and even a late variety.  The description of it's color can be yellow, any shade of orange and sometimes red and size of the bloom also differs. The reason for this confusion is that it's (in my opinion) a pretty weed.  It has been around forever, our great great grandparents and beyond traded this flower with their neighbors.  In my neighborhood, it's pretty much all over the place.  It grows rapidly, can grow in shade, you can see it in rural ditches.  There is no doubt however that it is a very eye catching double and sometimes a triple blossom.  Before the introduction of all the fantastic modern day varieties, this was the "fancy" version of the even more wild basic orange "Tiger" lily.   No need to purchase this one, just ask a neighbor, or find it in a ditch!
