Eyed and Edged Daylilies 2023
Post your excellent eyed and edged daylilies here. These can be daylilies with a partial edge or a full edge. The next category will be Edge No Eye Dayliies on Thursday.
Clarification was my best performing eyed and edged daylily. It had four-way branching and bud counts in the 20s.
El Desperado put on a nice show last season.
Angels Sing Softly made a nice clump by its second year.
Tart With a Heart was one of my favorites last season. The rebloom scapes were well-budded.
Sam Abell did not do as well in 2023 as in past years, but it still made a nice clump.
Lonesome Jaguar's blooms are always attractive and open well.
Blue Eclipse on scaped on a few fans last time.

Comments (30)Nancy, I really like the bold color of your Rocky Top intro! It has a beautiful pattern on the sepals. Ocktoberfest is a great performer for me too. Wish my other Maryott daylilies grow as well. Kate, that's a really nice clump shot of Rasp. Candy! Signet, my favorites of yours are Linda Sierra, Hold Your Horses, and Rainbow Maker. Debra, Blazing Sadles and seedling are very nice! Brad, your Maleny Debutante is very pretty. That green throat really pops. The color combination reminds me of Ruby Lipstick. Celeste, all of yours are very nice but your purples and blues are always the most stunning. I missed a favorite seedling of mine that fits this category.

Comments (29)Kate - Thanks for comment about the Karelia seedling! I need to give it more space to see if can get more buds. Last season is had 15 buds on one scape and 12 on the other. I think it could do better than that if not surrounded by taller seedlings. It did increase to five fans last season, so I'm looking forward to more scapes next year. If you want to post more eyed and edged daylilies, go ahead. Our friends didn't have many. That's why I went overboard - to make up the difference, or maybe I'm just greedy. When I first started collecting daylilies, the watermarked ones and the ones with eyes and edges were my favorites. I still like them a lot, although I no longer add many of them.

Comments (21)Here are mine (and btw, I do concur about Raspberry Suede being a great daylily. Every year it is one of the best plants in the garden. Somehow I always overlook it and forget to take it's photo). Here's one not many people grow but should. This is a Culver and it is one of the only daylilies that reblooms in my New Hampshire garden. This plant has wonderful plant habits, pristine foliage and sturdy scapes, blooms profusely and has great color. REBECCA HOCKRIDGE RUNNING IN THE RAIN, makes the list every time; a big plant with great color, large blooms, hardy and robust. Sets pods like crazy. Another vote for RUBY SPIDER. What can you say other than it's fantastic? Every....single....year. Even in year's of severe drought. This was last summer where it never got watered and the ground was bone dry. REMINDS ME OF FIREWORKS, I got this from Nancy in KY and I'm offering my photo of it as well. Reliable, year after year. Great size, color and performance. Very eyecatching in a clump. REGINA SITKO, I seem to be 'copying' other people's nominations today! But this is a great one. I have one more to squeeze in and it's another one already shown. It (and Come Sail Away) has been the best of the Guy Pierce intros in terms of hardiness and vigor. Most don't do that well here but this one is good. And it sets lots of pods for me. It's truly lovely. ROSEMARIE LOUISE...See More

Last Fool Standing
Mayan Warrior has really intense color.
Moving Forward has done well for a southern daylily.
Remembered Kisses is one of my favorite Norris daylilies.
Rosie with a Ring has a nice eye, but I wish it weren't so recurned.
I love the sepals on Snarl.
Snidely Whiplash is a favorite from Canada.
A few more to come . . .hoosier_nan (IN z5b/6a)

We were sent Warmer Climes twice as a bonus. One got crushed, but this one was pretty.
Wicked Wild and Wonderful.
That's all for me.Nancy

5 months agolast modified: 5 months agoI dont have too many daylilies in this category.
Tyger River has been slow to multiply, it needs a better spot but none available.
Storm Shelter is a unique color, did not do well last season.
Mr Skeffington was a bonus, has had good increase.
Lollipop Kisses is another bonus plant that has done really well.
Her lies Butch, hate the name, love the bloom. Took awhile to get established.
Happy, Happy is a gorgeous bloom, wish it was a better multiplier.Sherry

5 months agoHere are some of my eyed and edged seedlings:
White Tooth X Skater #3 has nice bud counts of 15-18, but so far it has multiplied slowly. It had tall scapes and super rebloom this year.
Stenciled Infusion X Karelia Seedling had a bud count of 18 last season and good scape height. It has been a reliable rebloomer.
(Palace Garden Beauty X Karelia) X Unknown always has good bud count and increase, even in a dud year like 2023. It will probably be a future registration, if it does well with line-outs.
Buddy's Victoria Jade X Skin of My Teeth #2 has a pretty bloom and is recurrent, but the bud count has never been more than 9-12. I moved it last Spring. Maybe it will do better next year.
I like both of these seedlings out of Abilene Lillian X Ruby Lipstick, but neither has gotten a bud count higher than 13 in the past three years. Maybe their offspring will have better bud counts.

4 months agoDebra,
TART WITH A HEART certainly is a standout.
SMALL WORLD TNT: Early season bloomer. Tends to melt on days over 90 degrees.
THE TRIBBLE WITH BLUE: Good performer. Front of the border plant.
ROCK CANDY: A popular one with visitors.
HOT SEAT: A garish bloom. Can't be missed.
SUSQUAHANNA GREAT BALLS OF FIRE: I love the colors, but I wish it did not roll back so much. If it didn't roll back, it would not have the name.
SAM ABELL
LEDGEWOOD'S JUMPSTART: This is a very good plant. This photo was taken at 5:00 pm
FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE: Blooms a long time as it usually puts up two scapes per fan.
EYE ON AMERICA: I thought that I had gotten rid of this one, but I missed a piece. I am glad I still have it.
NEW COVENANT: This is an accurate picture of it. The edge goes around most of the petal.
LEDGEWOOD'S JUMPSTART in the morning
VISION SEEKER: An all around good plant. Good branching, tall and good bud count.
RUBY STORM
COSMIC SHINER
TROUBLE IN PARADISE
That is all from me.
Have a great day!
