P and Q daylilies 2022
Today you can show us your daylilies that start with P and Q.
Quote of the day: “ I am a multitasker. I can listen, ignore and forget all at the same time.”
Peacock Maiden
Primal Scream was in an awful spot. I moved it at the end of 2020, hoping it will do better this season.
Pizza Crust has been a great late season bloomer for me.
Peach Pizazz has been in the garden for several years, it’s an average performer.
Purple Pawprint has rebloomed for me and has been the bud queen . Last season was dismal for this daylily.
Purple Maze is and early bloomer. it has done well for it’s first two seasons here.
Pandora’s Box is a trouper, it is blooming in total shade.
Quasar Cutie was added as a single fan in the fall of 2019. I am pleased with it’s performance so far.

2 years agoPurple Pawprint and Quasar Cutie are my two favorites tonight.......I have an interesting experience with Pandora's Box. I've had mine in ground (as opposed to in pots) for 25 years or so. The last 3 years nutsedge invaded one of the clumps. I tried very judiciously to corral the nutsedge in amongst the daylily leaves and spritz them with a dedicated herbicide for nutsedge. This is what happened to the foliage of the daylily leaves every year after I sprayed. I've never seen herbicide damage (white spots/stripes) like this on any other plants. I ended up having to pull the daylily so that I could eliminate the Nutsedge in the area....So, Beware of using Nutsedge killer around your daylilies....Maryl

2 years ago"The picture doesn't do the color justice". You hear people say this all the time and I can sympathize with them. I never could get the depth of the jewel like tones on this daylily on film. All I can say is that it can be breath taking at times. It is also pretty sunfast/colorfast
Paul Voth:
I didn't get many good shots of one of my favorite daylilies, Pink Aloha, so I'll leave Debra or others to post a picture of that pink temptress.Maryl

Comments (37)Brad: I think the plant you are referring to is Lythrum Salicaria "Morden's Pink". The species Lythrum is invasive in the wetlands, but the hybrid Morden's Pink has never shown any inclination to reseed or spread. Doesn't matter. The plant police have banned it along with the thug species Lythrum in many many states. Throwing the baby out with the bath water imo....... I wish mine would have reseeded a bit in the 30 years I've grown it. I can't find any new plants of Mordern's Pink locally or in mail order. However, I did see it listed for sale at a nursery in Kentucky once. Don't know if the nursery is around you, but it is named "Wallitsch". ............Maryl...See MoreP and Q daylilies 2021
Comments (37)Boy, I miss a day and the P's explode. In no order: Mantis: Papaya Gum Drop is new to me. Hope to see more of it this summer. I think my favorite though is Patagonian Sunset. Nice color, good shot of plant. Laura: Pacific Mariner shows promise. Brad: I always like your Paige's Pinata. It and Smokey Mountain Autumn are two of my favorites of yours. Good luck on the surgery. How long do they predict for recovery? JRB451 (is there a name we can call you by other then code?) Penny Lane looks fantastic in your clump shot. Good one. I hope to see more. Nan: Princess of Alexandria is glowing. Love it. Kay: Pink Tarantula is an eye catcher in a clump Debra: All your pinks of course. Special thumbs up on your picture of Pink Extraordineire (that's a long word). David: Polly Ester. Big LOL and an interesting greenish color. Prairie Pink Lace is new to me and I really like it. Pam: Patricia Snider Memorial takes such good photos. Nice one. SHERRY: I've always liked your pictures of Pizza Crust. I doubt if the color would hold here, but for you it struts its stuff. AND Pandora's Box. I've had her for decades and in the ground too - not my usual pots. I think she spoiled me on eyed daylilies. Every time I see one I think of Pandora's Box and she's done so well for me why add more........... I hope I haven't missed anyone. So many good ones, but I've got to finish dinner now so need to run.................Maryl...See MoreShow Us Your Landscape and Gardens - A Photo Thread - March 2022
Comments (25)A little chilly and very overcast out there this morning, but my DH assured me yesterday we were due for some sun today. Looking at the forecast, for sure, by 11am sun is out, clouds are gone and stay that way the rest of the afternoon. BUT - looks like we are in for about 5 days of cloudy after that with some rain coming in Tuesday night into Wednesday. So, guess if I need to move anything, this is the time to do it. We could use a little rain too. I haven't even ventured out there to see the impact of the cold snap. Soon as it warms up a little we're outside for a change. Pruning roses today - but we're taking our time with the clean up. Trying to recover from a tough week. I don't know, what do people do who don't have gardens to help with recovery? [g] Babs, family disruptions, hoping they are behind you and you are able to enjoy the garden season. I'm hoping we can do the same. We'll see. Cold snap killing early plants and bulbs....well. I'm going to take a good look around out there today and see what suffered and what came through with flying colors. From my window I can see a patch of snowdrops still blooming that don't seem to have skipped a beat. So more of those in the fall if I can manage it. Scilla seems to usually do really well and boy does it reseed and spread. And no critters seem to bother either of those. When I looked out the door the day after the coldest morning, the Hellebore I could see was all bent over to the ground, but I see it seems to have come back up. Happy Spring - enjoy the weekend!!...See MoreFOTESS April 2022: Jug Face planter
Comments (204)Ruth, I just returned home from my MN trip. Yes, my Clematis plant from Bluestone arrived this past Monday. I have somebody who comes in to water etc, when I am gone, so I had tipped her off that something was coming from Bluestone. She opened and watered after it arrived. It was supposed to come the previous Friday but did not. My buddy said it was in very bad shape on arrival. She followed the the after arrival directions. There is some new growth starting so I think she will be fine. I am so excited about Clematis nubia.....5 inch velvet red flowers. Thanks so much Ruth for this very cool plant!! Enjoy your trip.....be safe!!...See More

2 years agoMaryl, we have nutsedge. It's terrible stuff. Bob killed several seedlings and damaged several named cultivars with a product called Sedgehammer. We were told it was safe to overspray daylilies but it was not. He uses another product now with great success. I don't remember the name. I'll have to ask him. He's currently outside trying to clear the driveway of snow.
I have no Qs to show but here are the Ps.
Papa Goose is highly regarded.
I don't really love the color of Piece of the Action.
I really like Pink Stripes. I am hoping to get some striped seedlings from it. What I don't know is how likely it is to get stripes if only one parent is striped. Pink Stripes is our only diploid striped daylily.
I almost convinced Bob to let Primal Scream go in the name of downsizing. He is reluctant to let any orange daylilies go bye bye. I think we have better ones than this.
Priscilla's Dream is a blooming machine for us.
That's all for me.Nancy

2 years agolast modified: 2 years agoSherry - I loved today's quote. It does sound like me sometimes. The clump of Pizza Crust is stunning, and Quasar Cutie's pattern and color is so pleasing.
Nan - Do let us know what nutsedge killer Bob uses that won't hurt daylilies. I have a growing nutsedge problem. Papa Goose looks so pretty in your picture!
Maryl - I remember many years of your singing Paul Voth's praises. It must be a good one. That's awful about what happened to your Pandora's Box.
Here are some of my P's:

Patriot's Day

I didn't get a good pic of Parade of Peacocks, but I did find this one mislabeled as Parade of Peacocks and there are a couple small PoP blooms in the pic so I think it qualifies.

2 years agoSherry yes that quote sounds about right! Quasar Cutie is very interesting and Pizza Crust is such a performer.
Paul Voth, Papa Goose, Pistil Whipped, Quasi-Quasar, Pea Green with Envy & Pink Super Spider were standouts among many others.
Pandora's Box
Pardon Me. Poor pic but it shows the colour well. I finally planted it late season.
Penny's Worth had a bad year along with so many others. It was super hot and dry.
Pink Stripes. I hope to get it planted this year.

2 years agolast modified: 2 years agoSteve - Flight of Orchids is really striking. I'm glad it made it in on your Parade of Peacocks picture.
Mantis - Pink Aloha opens later in the day here, but I can't ever remember deformed blooms. It's never had the registered 30-inch scapes here. Mine are usually 25- 26 inches tall. The problem here is the sprawling plant habit. New fans come up 2.5 to three inches away, and the fans are huge, covering up neighbors on either side and in front and in back. I have to give it a haircut every year just so the neighbors can bloom. I do think the flowers are outstanding though, and that's why I put up with the sprawling foliage. It's also give me some pretty seedlings.
Pink Aloha - The fans are so far apart it's hard to get good clump shots.
