CG believes that all landscapes should include daylilies. They are easy to grow and provide excellent color and interest. With regular dividing, daylilies can quickly fill large areas or extend borders. Stella de 'oro reblooming daylilies (not pictured) are one of CG's favorites.
Three of these potted daylilies were purchased last fall for the rock path island bed. CG divided them right from the start, and hopes to have six to eight plants going strong this spring. These are rebloomers, with the first blooms setting in mid June.
These were probably planted in 2005. They have been divided a few times and enjoy the morning/afternoon sun in the sidewalk bed.
A variety purchased in 2005. CG is not exactly sure where these were planted. An investigation is pending. The tag says it blooms in late summer.
These are another 2005 planting. CG would like to consolidate all of these daylilies into one area. The border extending from the liriope around the river birch would be an ideal location.
None of these purchases exceeded 3 pots of either variety. CG wishes more daylilies were planted, but he is thankful for the hard work that the few in number have been able to provide!
Future daylily purchases will be of a red re-blooming variety for the sidewalk bed. Yellow stella de 'oro re-bloomers (once they go on sale for $1) will always find a home in the back yard beds or the farm bed. During the peak season, daylilies are pricey, around $7 per pot. CG rarely buys them at full price. He does regret not purchasing more daylilies when they were marked-down. After a current inventory, he believes that there is room for at least 20 more stellas.
