Pics of Some Fave Daylilies from Last Summer

14 years ago

Here are some of my favorite daylilies I was able to get from last summer.. Malaysian marketplace was gorgeous and I got a lot of blooms off of it, for being a new plant.. and same for Marietta Polkadot. it was my favorite and just kept blooming and blooming and blooming. All Things Regal was such fantastic color. Can't wait to see what these all do this year. Sunshine All day looked even prettier in "real life".. I was truly happy with these! Sorry for the massive pics.. Just learning and I'll make a bit smaller next time

Julia Mariska seems to be doing ok, her substance on her flowers is thin, though. A little bit of water and she melts away, and starts to melt away in the afternoon. Stormy Monday made it through the winter great. Most of my daylilies were new last year, with a few new ones this year, and most made it through the winter with no problems. I lost a couple and a few struggled to get going this spring, but Stormy Monday had no problems at all. Sharons2 I have both Dragon's Eye and Little Red Dragon, and to be honest, I don't see much difference between the two flowers. Both are too new for me to judge quite yet, but I think Dragon's Eye puts out more blooms. They both look great to me, but I actually prefer Dragon's Eye. Everyone else, thank you for the nice compliments! Karen

Julia, absolutely DO NOT PUT ANYTHING ON YOUR ELECTRIC FENCE!!! When the power is on, it will burn it or ground it at that point where contact is made. (I hope I have this right.) We have to be vigilant and check the wires to keep them free of anything. We have some daylily foliage very close to the wires, and these will burn if they touch. We go in and clip them back if this happens. When you do your fence, try to keep this in mind. Try to keep them away from the plants as much as possible so there will be little chance of this happening. Unfortunately, our setup means we have to watch the plants that are close to the perimeter, and do our best to keep them away from the wires. Next year, we will be in the process of evaluating a number of the d.lilies and other plants in there to see what should stay and what should go. We might be able to move some things more into the middle and away from those lines. The moonflowers you see in the pics are planted on an old barbed-wire fence that we have never taken down--probably should do that some day. We try to start seeds in April or May and get them in the ground when they are growing good. We have a trellis in the middle of the Main Garden and the moonflowers are grown there,(and on the old fence.) Usually, by the middle of August into Sept. it is pretty well covered with vines, and it's wonderful when the flowers bloom. In the evening, the nighthawk moths come in to pollinate the flowers, and it's fun to watch them, they look like hummingbirds. We also grow tuberoses and they bloom about the same time, so in the evening the fragrance is tremendous. Avedon

Thanks! I use Compost I buy from the city of Ann Arbor $25 a yard. The city won a National award for the composting program. The stuff is PH balanced and ready to go you can plant directly with it. I then add 1/2 left over soil from last year and a Poultry Based (poop), time released fertilizer 4-5-7 looks like rabbit pellets (food). I also add Perlite and Vermiculite. Once Plants start to blossom I pinch off first few blossoms, I then use Alaska Mor-bloom 0-10-10. I use this at 50% for 2 waterings. The Plants just explode. I also collect and use rain water for most of my watering. Completely Organic. In the green house I have Tomatoes and Peppers the peppers don't do as well in the greenhouse they get leggy and do not produce well. In summer too much sun hard to regulate. Some types do better than others. Keith Here is a link that might be useful: Mor-bloom

Sunsine All Day WAS great and I think it was slightly fragrant, also..

It's funny, because I always wonder, when looking at pics, how true the colors are, especially when they have such a saturated look or edge with a few hues in them.. so I was so excited when they bloomed and they were just as fantastic, if not more so in real life. Malaysian Marketplace is more deeply red than the pic shows, I think I might have taken it in a lot of sun..

All very pretty pictures. I had seen some bragging about MALAYSIAN MARKETPLACE in this forum before. It is a winner in my books:)

I also like ANTIQUE ROSE. What a beautiful shade of pink.

Ooooooooh, Sue! Those ARE pretty.. I like the coreopsis behind Siloam David Kirchoff.. I'm trying to get better about combining daylilies with other plants (most of my daylilies are in containers as I live in the city).. so this year I'm doing a lot of heucheras to give color when the daylilies aren't in bloom and got some textured grasses as well as gloriosa lily bulbs and some things that can twine around.

crackintheconcrete...which heucheras do you use with the daylilys. I know some are more sun tolerant that others and I have a few but some get a bit ...crispy.

ey, Sue.. sorry.. my wireless is extremely sporadic so it takes me a while to answer.

Truthfully, I haven't used heucheras IN a pot with daylilies yet.. It's going to be my new experiment for this year so that I wasn't spending so much money on annuals that I have to replace every year. (I usually mix coleus with things that aren't in constant bloom) was planning on using some of the newer hybrids that are supposed to be more sun-tolerant.. so this year I was going to use Lime Rickey, Peach Flambe, and Heucherella "Alabama Sunrise".. I'll have to check and see if they get crispy..I was also going to add Galtonia and crocosmia to get a more vertical effect and thought I could tuck the smaller bulbs in there.

Lime Rickey never did well in full sun for me, but part shade to full shade - awesome. Some that I had in full sun were Caramel, Chocolate Ruffles, Blackout, Black Beauty, Creme de Menthe - handles summer heat and humidity - a favourite, Hollywood - blooms all summer, Licorice - if kept moist, Midnight Rose, Peach Flambe - had 2 separate clumps, both in full sun, one did better than the other, I think difference was moisture, may be a bit tender in zone 4/5, and Obsidian - nice. I grow quite a few in pots. Mike.

OOH, Thanks for the tips, Mike! My garden is surrounded by huge apt. buildings, so I get a lot of shade at wierd moments because of the shadows, so most of my "full sun" is in the afternoon.. I'll have to watch where I put lime rickey, then.

Sure, dreaming.. come raid my garden. Hahhaaha It's so tiny, it'd be really easy to get through it quickly.. every time I buy a new daylily, I have to think of a brilliant way to explain to my husband why I need another container of dirt.. "uh.. no.. this uh..daylily just magically appeared, and yes.. I have no idea where there is another inch for dirt, but!! *beams cheerfully* I'm sure I can *cough* *cough* find a spot..somewhere* *wills husband to not look out window and see already crammed-full area*
