N daylilies 2024
Wednesday is N daylily day.
Neon Flamingo is getting established here. I love the bright color.
Night Embers has been in my garden a long time…..had low bud count last season.
Night Moves….I love the velvety texture.
Nosferatu holds up well in the sun here. These blooms are always perfect, no splotching.

3 months agoSherry: Love to color of NEON FLAMINGO. The color really pops.
NINE INCH NAILS: The model of consistency. This not my favorite form of daylily as I prefer cascading UFOs. It never has a bad day and all the blooms look like this. This will always have a home in my garden.
NEON FLAMINGO: Great color. Increases well and scapes are usually reaching registered height once established.
NEW COVENANT: This is an accurate picture. The color is this vivid. Plant habit is ok. I need to move it to a better spot as it is in the shade from Noon until sunset.
NO ORDINARY CHILD: I've only had this one for a year, so to early to judge.
Here is another NEW COVENANT photo on a different day.
That's all from me.
Have a great day,

3 months agoSherry - I like all your N's! I think when your Neon Flamingo is established it will give you a great show.
David - No Ordinary Child is so dark in your photo. Were most of the blooms that dark? I do like New Covenant. It's so pretty, it deserves better sun exposure.
I don't have many N's.
Neon Flamingo had a mix of tall and short scapes last year and had far fewer buds than usual.
No Tomorrow - I love the face of this flower, but it doesn't multiply. I've had it for three years, and it's still at only one fan.
North Wind Dancer's scapes were its usual height, but it was way down on buds and branching last year. I did have to prop up some of the scapes with supports last season. With the drought, many of my UFs had leaning scapes.

Comments (21)So many Siloams that still make the grade in my book. Sherry: Your picture of S. Ethel Smith is so sweet. Love it..... Kate: S. David Kirchoff is pretty. I think I grew that long ago. I like that color range...... Brad: S. Amazing Grace is always nice to see along with one of my favorites of yours Smokey Mountain Autumn.....Debra: Classic picture of S. Double Classic. Sensational Heart is very striking. Salter is one of my absolute favorite hybridizers. Too bad they usually aren't hardy enough to last long with my pot culture....Nan: Sea of Cinders is one I always like to see you post. Love the oranges.......David: Siloam Melvin's yellow is another good looking Henry. Also I really enjoyed seeing your picture of Showtime Magic on the database. Nice shot .....Mantis: Sips of Sin was a first year plant here last year and didn't bloom. It's looking iffy in it's pot outside after the arctic blast we had this year. Fortunately I have a small division of it in the garage. So like you we will see. Santa's Little Helper will always be remembered by me with affection. It was the first red daylily I grew that I actually liked the shade of red. It's as close as daylilies get to true rose red (which in my opinion is the hallmark for that color). Hard to capture on camera but you did an excellent job................Maryl...See MoreSn-Sz daylilies 2024
Comments (17)Sweeping Shadows the last couple of years has shown signs of tenderness. Short indeed. Earlier, it seemed to do okay. Next summer will be key. Perhaps Star Lord will take off this year; it's an evergreen. Brad's Stealth Bomber appears to have good branching; too slow to show its stuff here, so deleted. Stargate Portal--always low budcount and nothing last year. Sweet Isabela--always nice. Scapes could be more upright. Always glad to hear about Evick cultivars. He introduces a lot, but I don't hear much feedback. Same experience as Debra's with Strawberry Alarm. Sun Panda --Culver. Very saturated eye. Good growth Still the One --excellent in bud count, growth, color. Earlier blooming and tall. Sultry Girls --reliable and rich color. More susceptible to spotting than other Davissons I have. Good height. Stop the Car --well budded Gossard Star of India --excellent performance last summer. An early bloomer that must have liked something that other cultivars didn't. Nights were not as cool as usual in early June, so that may have been a factor. Sweetest Name I Know --newer plant Stone Palace Ecstasy. --It's growing here, but too early to evaluate. Color is rich. Substantial Treasure --performed better than most last summer. Stolen Treasure --subpar last year, with far fewer scapes and buds. Stone Palace Swagger --I very much like the rich color and size. Other factors still a question. Spacecoast Hot Lips --sent by mistake by Northern Lights. Very tall. Spacecoast Red Dazzler --nice color, but plant habit and performance a ?. Spunky Girls --excellent scape, bud placement, color. Looks great against the estate wall. Earlier. Soft Summer Night --poor performance last summer. From 2022. Spinal Tap --short last summer (pic from last summer). Sweet isabela --subpar Soft Play --a newer Hanson Sword of Justice --I like it, but performance so-so last summer. Storm Surge --newer Hanson Spirit of Hope --a Korth. Second year, but difficult to evaluate in a bad year. Sputnik --a favorite early Davisson. Good height. Snowflake Empress --off year for this Dougherty. Pic from previous year....See MoreU and V daylilies 2024
Comments (16)Victorian Garden Starbright did not bloom, as I recall, after being divided the previous year. Sterrett Gardens has Unbound listed as a dormant, but I think that is incorrect. Vegas Showgirl I see is a Gluck out of Rosy Scenario. Many of the VTs have attractive shadings of different colors in a single flower--RR Red, September Star, Bridal Lilac. I was surprised how striking Upgrade is. Still a fairly young plant here, but tall and vivid. Vision Seeker has great plant habit. Vision of Things to Come is taller than most Emmerichs. Vampire Bat looked good last year. Viagra Falls also had a good year. Like many, if not most, in this color, later day sun takes a toll. A quite tall plant. I did not expect Victoria Josephine to have such presence in the garden. Vampire Fish is a fairly young plant. Viva Pinata, newly divided, did not do much. Pic from 2022. Uppity Girls is tall. Looks promising. Vertical Horizon had a good year. Voila Francois bloomed on short scapes. Seems not to thrive here, but interesting. Victorian Lace had a subpar year, but still not shabby. Via Dolorosa fades in mid-day heat, but is an attractive flower. Not a fast multiplier so far, but good height. Velvet Hammer had an off year, with shorter scapes and some splotchy flowers. Vulcan Logic has done well here. Seems a bit bigger than 5". Distinctive color to my eyes. It's the sort of solid plant that one wonders why is not more widely grown. But Hansons usually are not well known even in the upper South....See MoreW daylilies 2024
Comments (19)Good to see that Works for Me grows well for you, Kate. Its bud count is not impressive, but it is a welcome earlier bloomer. Wrenetta Powell died in a pot here. A Petit. Works for Me in a previous year. It was so-so this past year. When You Get to Asheville --This one is quite attractive and has good plant habit (pic 2023). Worlds Collide --large flower that didn't bloom in 2023 Winter Treasure --so-so year. Not a fast multiplier. All pics from 2023 unless noted. Willow Dean Smith. From 2022. Recently divided White Icon. A Derrow that is very white and large, but not a fast multiplier. Wayne's World. A Hanson, no more than 5". 2022 Another pic of Wild Cherry Wine. Subpar, but recently divided. Wall of Fire --subpar 2023 Web of Intrigue. Looked good last year. An older cultivar. Warmer Climes --good grower, but poor year for this Derrow Also subpar was Wild Red Heart. Wine in the Gazebo --Hanson that was subpar. Wispy Rays --Recently divided and subpar. Can have off years. William Austin Norris --I rather like this older Salter. Webster Girls --recently divided. 2022. Big plant that needs space....See Moresherrygirl zone5 N il

3 months agoI don’t have many Ns either.
No Boys Allowed was one of the late freeze victims last season. This is a previous picture
Navajo Grey Hills
New Paradigm has never been vivid in my garden. I think Kay’s is much brighter.
I could not find a photo of Neon Flamingo. It is still pouting from being divided two years ago.

3 months agolast modified: 3 months agoNight Moves looks like a very rich color.
Natty Man makes a nice clump, but wasn't like 2022. I like it a lot.
Natalie Antoinette is a reliable Stamile with modest bud count. Flowers are usually perfect.
Native Reflection is an attractive purple with eyezone, but catch it before noon.
Night Wings was subpar, but I did capture the color quite closely in this pic.
New Covenant I fear will be short, but 2023 wasn't a year to judge.
Navajo Pony can look good.
Neon Flamingo had a subpar year, but did give a good pic.
No Boys Allowed is from 2022. Bud count is modest here.
This January only one in five days had any sun. And almost half the days had some precipitation. Gloom. But sun is in the forecast for early February.sherrygirl zone5 N il thanked mantis__ohlilykate7a
3 months agolast modified: 3 months agoI forgot about Navajo Pony! I don’t think mine bloomed last season. (How many times have I said that on this post?!!) I know I don’t have a curent photo. Mine tends to lean and sway!
And I also forgot Napa Valley Merlot!

3 months agoLooks like Neon Flamingo is the popular flower to have and for good reason! I really like Navajo Pony, Mantis. No Boys allowed is very pretty too. Only one n for me.
North Wind Dancer was low on buds last year as I moved it.
