S Siloam daylilies only 2018
We need to see Siloam daylilies only today I have six but only have pictures of four. The quote for today is: “ I like rumors! I find out so much about myself that I didn’t even know.”
I’m trying David Kirchhoff for the second time. I added my new one in fall of 2016, so far so good. The first one just disappeared.
Double Delight has been here for years and has done great, trouble free blooms and multiplied rapidly, I have two big clumps.
“
Siloam Plum Tree, a trouble free Purple here. My favorite feature of this one is that the blooms are always well above the foliage.

6 years agoHere are the Siloams that I grow:
SILOAM APPLE BLOSSOM: Blooms early and is a great little pink.
SILOAM LOUISE WATTS: This is a child of S. APPLE BLOSSOM. Blooms later and is taller.
SILOAM MELVIN'S YELLOW: One of my favorite yellows. It is a large bloom and blooms over a long period of time. I purchased it directly from Bob Clary of Virginia. He had the largest collection of Siloam daylilies and was a close friend to Pauline Henry. When visiting his garden, he had a row of SMY blooming and I could not resist.
SILOAM PAUL WATTS: Blooms late in the season. My only complaint is that it blooms just below the top of the foliage.
SILOAM RALPH HENNY: Beautiful bloom on a temperamental plant. Some years it suffers from spring sickness. Some years it doesn't bloom. Slow to increase. What I have been able to figure out so far is that it is the thirstiest of daylilies. I have it planted near my vegetable garden so it gets the benefit of extra water. With the extra water, the overall plant performance is greatly improved. I am sure that it is the case with all of the daylilies, but this one seems to benefit from the extra water.
SILOAM SAMBO: Nice strong purple that blooms above the foliage.
I also grow S. ROYAL PRINCE and S. PLUM TREE, but did not get their pictures this year.

Comments (10)I was thinking the same thing myself...the Siloams should have their own post! I know I have a lot of them, which were all acquired last year. I kind of went on a Siloam 'kick' last summer...haha. Some haven't bloomed yet, but these are the ones which did. I love these cute little bloomers...they are so hardy here!

Comments (38)Is Panic in Detroit a crispate? Paige's Pinata was always weak here. Palace Garden Beauty has been a bit frustrating because of sometimes quirky opening. Paradise Bar and Grill --more recent Hanson that has been sought after. Pink Lemonade Party --would be happier farther south Parable of the Net --comes off more pastel in garden Ohio Skies --have a hunch this will not be a strong grower in the garden (Hanson) Peggy Jeffcoat --lovely Part Time Princess --made a great show this past year Purify My Heart --seems to have been weaker the past few years Peggy Bass --lovely, but not really well budded Orange City --Dick recommended it, but it has been reluctant to bloom so far Purple Tempest --an old Webster that really attracted attention in 2017...See MoreS SPACECOAST daylilies only! 2018
Comments (19)Spacecoast Seashells ....... I almost lost this one last spring with the sitting water that kept freezing and thawing . Hoping to see it has recovered this spring . I also grow Spacecoast Starburst and remember being so stoked about adding this one to my gardens years ago. Many daylilies and many more moments of being excited adding new plants since then , this one still makes me happy. I added Spacecoast Sharp Tooth and Spacecoast Spice Girl last season but late in the season so really looking forward to seeing them bloom this year . The next Spacecoast I would like to add is Spacecoast Frances Busby ....See MoreBest Yellow Daylilies of the 2018 Season
Comments (41)Thank you for liking my seedling! It is still too new to judge its merits but it certainly has potential. Wow, looking back at this thread again, I see some gorgeous garden shots! I am drooling over all this loveliness. Sherry, though Stella D'oro flowers maybe plain, your placement of it among the hostas and heucheras is perfection! It elevates this daylily to first class and showcases its flowers and foliage beautifully! Julia, I love that combo of Enter Laughing with the purple coneflowers in the foreground and the purple flowers in the background. Wow! Too lovely for words. Celeste, Cheddar Cheese is just marvelous in that group shot! I also love your combo of Living in Amsterdam with the blue clematis next to it and the coral daylily in the background. Wow! Nancy, LOVE the gold shade on Tidewater Elf and the beautiful poly It's Miller Time. Kate, your NOID is just spectacular! I love the pic with it blooming in the foreground and the other daylilies with their blooms popping in the background. It is like a sea of blooms!...See More

6 years agolast modified: 6 years agoI do grow some Siloams and have had most since I started collecting daylilies which was before I realized that there were tall daylilies ......yup I was a real nube. Since then I have not added anymore as they just get lost in the gardens so last year I moved most of them to a garden out by the chicken house all along the edge of a new garden there . Hopefully they will be better seen there out in front .
Siloam Olin Frasier
Siloam Uri Winniford
Siloam Baby Doll
Siloam Bo PeepSiloam Double Classic
Siloam Button Box
Siloam Merle Kent
Seems I didnt take pictures of some of the ones I moved this year or simply cant find them ....however I do also grow Siloam June Bug , Siloam David Kirchhoff , Siloam Ethel Smith, Siloam Rainbow Magic , Siloam Wendy Glawson and Siloam Art Work ( this one is a really pretty one ) . I lost Siloam Virginia Henson and Siloam Tee Tiny and probably wont replace them .

6 years agoYears ago I collected many of these but they all left except for these two.
SILOAM HOLLAND'S CHOICE - reliably reblooms here and is fragrant. I'm always delighted to see it reblooming in the late season.
OLIN FRAZIER - also reblooom but not nearly as reliably as the one above
Now for the ones that have gone. Some of these I can't even remember growing.
ALL AGLOW
ANGEL BLUSH
ARTHUR KROLL
BO PEEP
DAVID KIRCHHOFF - liked this a lot for years but I think it might have been a rust magnet so had to go.
DOUBLE CLASSIC
EXTRA SPECIAL - I kept this until very recently. It was a good one.

6 years agoThanks, Maryl....! I do really like Tiny Tim; it's super adorable and the color is great. These small daylilies often get overlooked but it is one of my favorite Siloams. I bought it years ago to honor my oldest child, my son Tim.....(who's not so 'tiny' now that he's 34....lol). Here's another shot of it and I think this one shows off the color better:

6 years agoWe grow only 3 Siloams two of which are tet conversions. I have pictures of just 2 of them.
We don't grow many diploids, but Siloam Sugar Time was a bonus plant. We like the red eye.
This is the tet. version of Siloam Ralph Henry.
That's all I have pictures of.
