Julie,
I have: LAND OF COTTON, FRANCES JOINER, and PEGGY BASS. They are all gorgeous, but LAND OF COTTON is my favorite. That one holds up in full afternoon sun really well. The other two do just a bit of burning, but they are gorgeous.

Here's a few of mine that you might like to try.
The pink and white one is Fancy Buttons and is a hose on hose type.

Another couple to consider: SCATTERBRAIN and PEGGY JEFFCOAT.

Land of Cotton is gorgeous! I love it!

Voodoo Dancer is the only plant of this type I have. It is a reliable bloomer and stands up in the rain or the blazing sun. Kay

Terrific pictures Jan!

I agree with others who say LAND OF COTTON is a great one! Some other hose in hose doubles I have are

FRANCES JOINER

BUTTER DISH

ZELLA VIRGINIA

I'll add another vote for Land of Cotton. It is a beauty.

Edward

Wow!!!!!

Thanks so much everybody!
The kind I like best are those that open fully, making the bloom look like one flower on top of another.
'Fancy Buttons' doesn't seem to do that, but I love it anyway - so crisp looking with its pink ruffled edges.
'Land of Cotton' - What a perfect form!

I keep going back and forth, trying to pick out favorites, but they're all gorgeous!

And thanks for the names w/o pictures too!
I will have all winter to do some research and pick the most hardy ones to order for next year.

Thanks again!

Julie

Sweet Mercy and Fancy Buttons, gorgeous!

You could take a look at Big Kiss, Peach Magnolia, King Kahuna - all three are still blooming and they always double for me. . Then there is Alexander Rag Time band, Peggy Jeff Coat, Moses Fire ( all three alawys double) and Peach Rum Festival (Just started blooming). Siloam Double Classic blooms really well - good increaser.

I see most of these are Joiner daylilies. One thing I do each year is visit their site and make a wish list. I plan on going down next season and hope I get to see some of them in bloom. Of the pictures on their site now, 8 doubles are on my list.

Thanks for all your suggestions, Mike!

Are they all Hose-in-Hose type?

I definitely plan to get 'Siloam Double Classic', and I just won 4 fans of 'Big Kiss' on the LA.

Thanks for your input,

Julie

Julie, some of the ones shown above are not hose in hose types but rather "peony" types. SDC is typically a peony type as is Big Kiss. The dark purple one in my first photo, Double Cranberry Ruffles, is also a peony type. I love most doubles, but the hose in hose types are very elegant looking to me. Some people don't like the peony types, saying they look messy. :) Each of us has our likes and dislikes in dl's as we do everything else. Makes for a much more interesting world, doesn't it? Good luck with your dl's and congrats on your LA wins.

An oldie but goodie is

H. 'Prester John'

Jan,
Thanks for explaining the "peony" type bloom (didn't know that term, just though those were dbls). I have a few of those, but prefer the elegant look of the hose in hose type.

Duke,
'Prester John' is fabulous! I will add that to my list.
Thanks for sharing your photo.

Julie

I saw a double daylily described as a "petaloid type" -- is that the same thing as "hose in hose"?

BTW-- I got a DF of LOC on the way now. This place is a bad infulence for my credit card.

'Land of Cotton' sure has a lot of different price ranges, depending on which vender you buy from.

I found some info on petaloid:

Another that I love. Not a large flower though.. Glory Calls..

{{gwi:656337}}

My favorite Hose In Hose...Nell Dean. A really good increaser, nice foliage, not really tall and a large bloom. Apricot Brandy in color..What more could you want?

I'm glad Ellie posted that pic of Nell Dean. That's a pretty one!
This is the only hose in hose I have - Savannah Explosion -

Ellie,
I can see why 'Nell Dean' is your favorite Hose in Hose. It's a great color! 'Spotted Fever' has unusual and delightful color too, and has a nice full center. I've added both of them to my list. Thanks for sharing!

Kathy,
For some reason I can't see your photo, only a red X. But I'm sure it's beautiful.

Julie

Julie, that pic of ND does not do her justice. I think I have another on Tinks. She is a beauty though with the beautiful multi colors. SF is a very short dl so if you get her, you'll need to put her in front...Ellie

Thanks Ellie....

Yes, I always do a thorough search before I purchase a new cultivar - height, bloom time, zone hardiness, ploidy, foliage type, bud count (if available), etc. I've often passed up gorgeous DLs on the Lily Auction because they bloom too early. I have quite enough blooming in the garden June & July. I need more lates!
