Who's your best performer?
Comments (7)A little dip, Pixie Plaything - going and going and going. But, there are plenty in the garden - West Coast Blues comes to mind, always in bloom, always perfect. SC. Surprise Purple is always blooming and the form is always good, the problem is the color - always splotchy until rebloom. I am trying to cross it with some some others that have color stability. We'll see.... Create Your Dream - lovely and always blooming perfectly Heaven's Declaring - favorite face and always blooming - sent up instant rebloom scapes and is now sending up more rebloom scapes. Crystal Sea - always blooming, rebloom and perfect flowers. Velvet Eyes - bloom, bloom, bloom, bloom, bloom..... whew. Missouri Memories - Perfect flowers every time and lots of them Very Berry Ice - Same as above Neusa Gergemann - beautiful dip that blooms over and over Pink Rocks - great dip, great color, perfect blooms every time, and lots of them...See MoreBest performers this year ?
Comments (25)Terrible year for daylilies. Lost a bunch of them. On the bright side I was able to come up with a list of best performers. (From the size of it you would think it was a great year) Always Tomorrow  Superb bloomer and rebloomer. One of the best Buttered Popcorn  Always dependable Carmel Glaze  Unusual for it, but was a good late performer China Bride  Best performance this year Delicate Design  Good show this year Land of Cotton (Dbl)  Great, it outdid all of my doubles Winning Ticket (Dbl)  Came in a very close second Snow Blizzard (Dbl)  Great performance, but came in third El Desparado  Always puts on a show. One of the best. Fluted Fancy  Lots of blooms this year. Unusual. Forever Abundant  What can I say except its forever abundant Indian Ripple  3rd year in my garden. Great show every year. (I know I posted a lot of it this year, so I thought I would show you itÂs baby picture) ItÂs A Miracle  Good show this year Jedi Codie Wedgeworth  Great year with strong reblooms Louise Boswell  Best show this year Moonlight Masquerade  Outstanding year Red Volunteer  Always a dependable bloomer Rocket City  Great as always Star Struck  Good as usual Stoplight  Late bloomer that just goes on and on. Untamed Glory  It had itÂs best year this year. Wilson Spider  Really put on a show Spider Miracle  Sits next to El Desparado and they had a contest as to who could bloom longer (El Desparado won by two weeks Spiderman  put on a better show than I expected.

Comments (20)Thinking of another fragrant one to sub for Holy Mole, I imagine that Stained Glass would be sure to hold its edge....which is not really wide, but then the center is what is wide. It could fade some of the gold, but it is still a good looking plant. Then one that is tough as nails and similar in COLOR to Stained Glass is Dick Ward. Same sort of variegation, light center and dark margins. But not fragrant. Are you looking for a medium-large sort of hosta? or a large? I see that Alex Summers with a dark center and a gold margin is a smooth and well organized hosta. But so is Satisfaction. And the older one of my Satisfactions has a very tough leaf. I got it in 2010, it was my NOID. The new Satisfaction which came this year has not developed the substance the other one has. So if you do not have a Satisfaction, take a look at a mature one and see if it does what you want by your front steps. If the first thing your visitors say is WHAT IS THAT PLANT OUT THERE? you know you made the right choice. :)...See MoreBest performing roses for your zone/region
Comments (9)The short Bourbons such as Romaggi Plot Bourbon, SdlM and its sport Souvenir de Saint Anne seem to do very well here and SdlM especially stands out. The tea roses Le Vesuve and Rosette Delizy, and the Austins Bishop's Castle and Potter and Moore are doing well. Madame Lambard is just beginning to take off after a year and a half, but promises to be quite good. The polyantha, Aunt Margy's Rose, has been a trouper for quite a few years in a difficult location against a wall, but the drought has affected it. I've had to cut it back quite a bit and I hope it will revive in the promised rains this and next month....See MoreUser
