I like Roy Doddle Allen. I always enjoy the orange sherbet colored ones. A color that's cool and refreshing in our heat (if the color holds). .....Cameroon Nights is strutting its stuff for you. Nice clump...........Maryl

What a fabulous clump of Cameroon Night! That one always does well here, and it really holds up in the hottest temperatures. How do you like Marietta Heartbeat? I added it last fall and it overwintered in a pot. Is is good enough for me to scrounge a place in the ground? Here Lies Butch is one that catches my eye too.

Maryl, Roy was sent as a gift plant not once but twice (!) by the same vendor one year. I am always wary of that practice “is this a bad plant?”, “is this a plant you want to get rid of?”, etc. However, it has really shown itself to be a really pretty soft orange that so far holds up pretty well.

Debra, I do like Marietta Heartbeat. For me, it always opens without those early morning splotches so many purples are habit prone to do. Perhaps because it is just beginning to bloom-this was FFO-so it misses the heavy spring dew. It has also multiplied well in a bad spot. On the other hand, Here Lies Butch has always been a stagnant plant for me. I think Sherry has more luck with it.

Wow, great show. Interesting how the scape that blasted still bloomed.

Arrowhead a Princess is my favorite today. I also like the daylilies snuggling it up today, I think they compliment each other nicely. I do have Here Lies Butch, those big fat edges open perfectly here every time. I can’t say it’s a fast multiplier but that is probably due my poor placement. I moved it last spring, better placement. Started out as one fan, I have four now after three years. I’m hoping it does better now, I still hate the name.

Sherry

I know, Julia. They did their best!

Sherry, I don’t like that name either! And it has so few scapes—I think a large clump would really be pretty.

I may have spoken too soon about chunking my low foliage bloomer...I checked today and it is Banana Moon and does not usually bloom like this. Maybe one more chance next year!

My favorite is the huge clump of Cameroon Night!

When you see a clump like Cameroon Nicght, it just keeps you right there...a beauty, Kate. here Lies Butch is a beauty, and Grateful Heart is stunning..Nice post...and we are being inundated with much needed rain. You should be too,

Cameroon Night is beautiful clump! Here Lies Butch is lovely, just a really nice post.

Very pretty collection of blooms! Arrowhead Princess grabs my attention, as does your clump of Cameroon Night. I think we are finally supposed to get some rain here as well.

Thanks so much for information about Marietta Heartbeat. I'm scouting a planting location now! It looks like one I'll want to use in hybridizing.
