Although I'm a landscaper by trade up until a few years ago I was unable to have my own gardens. I was aware of Daylilies of course since I was in the Horticultural field, but my knowledge was pretty much limited to the "wild" orange Tiger lilies from when I grew up and the occasional yellow variety, as well at the limited choice that my plant suppliers had available.

I knew I wanted to grow Daylilies in my garden because they are such a low maintenance plant with great rewards and usually you will find that the last thing a landscaper wants to do when they get home is well, landscape.

I turned to the internet and fell in LOVE with the 1000's of varieties available from around the country!

I started this blog to share the photos of my Daylilies with friends and family and hopefully anyone that is interested in learning more about the hundred or so that I am presently growing. I will be adding photos on a regular basis. Please click on each one to enlarge it.

If you enjoy my blog please click on the advertisements, you don't have to do anything other than that. It doesn't cost you anything but it does earn me money and that way I can continue to buy new Daylilies to show you.

Thankyou very much!

Rushing Delight Daylily

  Living in zone 4 (Minneapolis), we are told that "evergreen" daylilies, those that the foliage does not die back in the winter, will not survive in our climate.  So for the most part I have stayed away from investing in them.  Which is very disappointing because I find that they tend to be the more colorful and luscious varieties available.  But by accident I ended up buying a couple or 3.  Low and behold I have found out that they have indeed made it through our harsh Minnesota winters, at least for me.  Take for instance Rushing Delight, it is just breathtaking!  An early to mid season variety standing 26" tall with 5" blooms and slightly fragrant. This reblooming Tetraploid is available at Soulesgarden.com, Edaylilies.com and tsflowers.com
