What do you have planted around daylilies?
Comments (3)My daylilies tend to take all the space in my beds, but I think if space was available, I would plant snapdragons, bright red ones. My last daylily is in bloom right now, bright yellow. My red snapdragons are also in bloom, they will now continue to bloom all winter and hide the declining daylies. when warm weather starts with daylily foliage the snapdragons will be through.

Comments (17)Well, it's not as if the daylilies are very hard to take care of. Certainly no more so than any other flower and lots easier than most. And I had to do most of the hardscape as I needed a place to plant. By the time I had gotten the daylily crazies all the easier places to do a garden were all filled already so I started on terraces and raised beds. Lots of works (and money) but the results were so worth it. But I was so focused on daylilies that most of those things that were moved for hardscape projects (and mostly moved back) that died because it was never the right time of year to move things, I just let go. This sping started buying many and bringing back. Not always the exact same. Like I had ALASKA shasta daiseys (tall). I bought SNOWCAP this spring as they are dwarf and work better. I had some plain yellow yarrows and bought some stunning red STRAWBERRY SEDUCTION yarrows this spring. I bought the fancy new hot colors of coneflowers to add to my garden instead of the RUBY STAR and just plain purples that died out. I bought CHEROKEE SUNSET blackeyed susans instead of Goldstrum which I thought was boring. I bought new honeysuckle vines to replace some that died out. Well, you get the picture. I am not done with everything I want to add or bring back but I made a great big dent in that project. I also want to grow more zinnias as I deffinately love zinnias. The first year I had zinnias in amounst the daylilies in the 2nd terrace of the terraces garden. Coundn't do it years after. I have decided that I can get the look I want and have room for the zinnias by removing the middle grouping of daylilies from the second terrace and leaving the the ones at both ends. Since these are very favorite daylilies I am certainly NOT getting rid of them. Then upstairs in the garden that for year one I called the cosmos garden, second year snapdragon garden (as I planted those annuals to fill in) I want the color back. But I am cetainly not doing to dig up the daylilies and hack the clumping fans back to the two that I started with. So it get a look that works for me, I need to remove a daylily here and there in that bed and then put a spot of color in the empty space I left by moving the daylily. Again these are very favorite daylilies up there. They will not be leaving the garden. I am guessing that by removing and sending away about 50 daylilies I can have the look I want. So I will see what needs to go by evaluating during bloom season....See MoreSo how many daylilies do you have?
Comments (71):D Not as many as I will have come spring! Let's see, up until now I had Stella de Oro, H. Fulva 'Europe', a yellow NOID much like Stella but different shade of yellow & bloom time, 5 surprise NOIDs from a local AHS sale- non of which have bloomed yet, a red NOID that hasn't bloomed in several years, then last fall I planted Breathless Beauty from WalMart and Wineberry Candy from a plant exchange here on the forums. Now I have ~100 seedlings started, another couple hundred seeds coming, and 32 ordered for spring so far. Not too bad for the first few months of a new addiction. I'd say from reading the rest of these posts that I've been fairly disciplined- though a good deal of that has to do with not much land to plant them on and being addicted to other plants too (OGR for example)....See MoreWhat peonies do you have waiting for spring?
Comments (17)We've had a nice stretch of spring this week so have been cleaning up the peony bed. I too can't wait! The large green bush in the foreground is Coral Charm, and the bushy green way in the distance is Carnation Bouquet - both have buds already. All 13 made it through the winter, although the plants I purchased as bare root continue to out perform the 3 I purchased in containers. The bed is entering its 4th year, although a few were purchased more recently. It's getting exciting!...See MoreMaryl (Okla. Zone 7a)
