strawberry candy and elegant candy!

16 years ago

Does anyone out there know if these two daylilies are the same? I am supposed to have both of them out in my yard, and all I can find is the elegant candy lily.

They are definitely different. LOL Strawberry Candy is more orangey and has an edge.

I would love to set up a trade for August! I would be interested in elegant candy, hillbilly heart, beloved ballerina, and awesome blossom. I haven't been able to do much this year due to a bad knee, but should be able to get them by then. I have alot listed and some of the ones with (0) behind I will be able to trade now. Some I won't. Sorry, I haven't been able to do any updating, but will check if something you want and let you know if available. Thanks, Melinda

Strawberry Candy is a great rebloomer. Elegant Candy never reblooms here because it doesn't get enough sun, but it is very well budded and has flowers for a long time. Custard Candy grows well with plenty of buds in my sister's Indiana garden. If I were only going to add one, it would be Elegant Candy. All of the Candies are good performers, in my opinion. Debra

I still don't have it! When I visit a nearby AHS display garden with about 2000 cultivars, I always stop and admire STRAWBERRY CANDY. But if I got every one I admired, I'd have...more than 2000 cultivars. :)

Daylilies in Oklahoma survive just about anything other then poor drainage. In Oklahoma many daylilies look better with afternoon shade - say after 3-4 in the PM depending on how intense the sun is. It's the quality of the bloom that is affected, not the overall plant as a rule........ I was so disappointed in some of my first daylilies years ago. By the time I came home from work in the PM they were a limp, bleached out mess. I am still experimenting - looking for those that can take our climate and look good for the WHOLE day, not just a few hours. It's an ongoing process, but a fun one............Maryl

Actually in my garden it is pretty hard to tell them apart by comparing the pink/orange thing. Sometimes Strawberry Candy is very pink and other times it is not. Also I think that the red on Strawberry Candy is usually a bit more noticeable than on Elegant Candy. However, I think the best way to tell them apart is by comparing the throat color. SC is more golden and EC is more green. The throat on my EC is quite distinctive. Hope this is of some help, what with soils and weather conditions making such differences in daylily colors. :o)

Here is a picture of Strawberry Candy on a well established plant. I have been told that it is darker pink than alot of SC but it may help you decide on who is who. I do not have EC so cannot post a picture of it for you to compare. Perhaps someone else can do that for you. Hope this is helpful.

Hi Darla, maybe photos of the two cultivars side by side will help you see the difference in them.
These were taken in my garden.
