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!

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.
