R daylilies 2024
We are showing R daylilies today. I don‘t have many recent photos. Five of my R daylilies were new to the garden or didnt bloom last season.
Aheads up for the S posts, there will be two….Sa-Sm then Sn- Sz the following day.
Real wind…. I love color on this old daylily. I wish it was in sbetter spot here….a late bloomer.
Reindeer Antlers holds up marvelously in all day sun, a late colorfast bloomer. It had a lower bud count last season.
Red Suspenders had lower bud count last season, has had good increase.
Red Volunteer blooming in the shade.
Ruby Spider is a staple here. I have two clumps….. my well established clump didn’t bloom last season, the new one did.

2 months agoShelly, I have always found REAL WIND attractive.
Here the Rs that I grow:RAVEN LORE: Makes huge fans. It is a space eater. Well branched and well budded.
ROCK CANDY: Rapid increaser and well budded. Popular with on-line purchasers. I find the color to be a little muddy.
ROSE F. KENNEDY: Not a rapid increaser. Reaches it's registered height.
RING NEBULA: Growing this Derrow introduction for the club in Maryland.
RUNAWAY ROMANCE: A Bennett intro. A good parent for Mr. Bennett.
RUBY STORM: Blooms over a long period of time. Increases well and well budded.
RED RAGAMUFFIN: Still new for me. Also not growing in the best location.
That is all from me.

Comments (16)Nan - It is a shame Dearest Mahogany is such a dud in hybridizing. It blooms ML here, and by then it's usually too hot for pods for set. It might work better grown in a greenhouse. The club member that I split my win of Dearest Mahogany with reported that it didn't make it through the first winter in her garden. I hope Dearest Valentine will bloom well for you next year. Deeds Not Words surprised me by how well it did in its first year to bloom. I look forward to seeing how it does in 2024, I'm always tempted when I see Desire of Nations. But I do have one of its children to use in hybridizing, so I'll pass on it. Some of the Emmerichs are slow to multiply here. Kingdom Without End and Forty Days and Forty NIghts have always been slow multipliers. Debra...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 MoreT daylilies 2024
Comments (16)I see that To God Be the Glory is a huge bloom out of Seminole Wind. Tangerine Tickles is an appealing color (a Grossman). I also like the colors of Thundering Voice (seldom see it pictured) and the peachy pink tones of These Foolish Things. After years of hearing the praises of The Bride of Dracula, I ordered it. Tyger River, a bonus, has not performed well. 29 Flags over Conway looked pretty good last year. Thelma Douglas has had crowded scapes and hang-ups. Also, short last year. I am now wary of its progeny. Individual flowers can be beautiful. The X Files is a striking flower. I am waiting to evaluate plant habit. The King is Coming has not been a fast increaser (Carpenter), but had some nice blooms last summer. Not tall. The Goldilocks Effect is an older Hanson. Had an off year, but I wonder why it isn't more widely grown, as it has an intensity greater than other polychromes I know. Tattered Heart had such a good year in 2022 (pictured), but much less impressive this past summer (to the right is Drew Hoo). I too like Thomas Tew (good taller scapes). Sib Christopher Moody was shorter with lower bud count. Tahiti Sweetie looked good last summer. It sometimes has lighter spots on segments. The sun shot adds a glisten, but it stands out. Teeth of Iron --slow increase Tactical Deception --vigorous and attractive smoky color. Hanson. Tao of Physic --looked better last summer than in prior years Emmerich's Truth Teller. Held up better in sun this year. Tickle Fingers --so far, less vigorous than some other Davissons The Dream Society had a very good year. Later blooming. Twitch --a more recent Davisson Tahitian Waterfall Two Sues had an off year. Tonight's the Night --rich color. Wish it were a bit larger, but nicely ruffled. The Food Channel Tar and Feather made a splash of color in the early season. Very dark eye....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 More

2 months agoSherry - You have lots of nice reds in the R category.
Maryl - Rethink Pink has a special look!
David - Runaway Romance is my favorite of yours!
Rainbow Maker had short scapes and few buds last year. It failed to bloom on many fans.
Rapture of Love - Same old song and dance about last year: short scapes and not many buds.
Razor Eyes had nice, tall scapes and rebloomed well.
Ripsaw has had much better seasons.
Ripples and Reflections - This was its second year to bloom.
Roman Cohort had a decent year.
Rose Sensation had its best year ever. Scapes are still nowhere near the registered height. But it had bud counts in the mid teens and very nice rebloom.
Rosie Cotton's Ribbons put on a nice show.
Roen Cathedral was extremely light colored from high heat and lack of rain.
Royal Cypher has struggled the last few years - a victim of voracious grubs.
Royal Seal had a few nice blooms.
Ruby Lipstick - With the cooler temps last year, Ruby Lipstick's petals did not look as white as usual.
Ruth Watkins Davidson was an absolute joy last season with tall scapes, buds in the mid-teens, strong rebloom, and excelllent pod setting. It definitely will move with me.

2 months agoHere are my R's.
I imagine you all are getting tired of seeing Raggedy Man, which is one of our favorites.
Reach for the Heavens is a new one. It is registered at 68 inches tall. I like the shape of the flower.
Red Eyed Queen
Red Lobster
Remembered Kises
Rocky Top
Rose Titan's flower is registered at 10.5 inches
Rosemarie Louise seemed 'iffy' here for awhile, but I think it has settled in.
Rosy Spitketail has done well the last couple of years after spending several years of not doing much.
This photo of Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer was taken at a friend's house (who also has a commercial garden). I had to bring a piece home with me.

2 months agoLots of beauties. Sorry my posts have been rather short in comments, but a lot going on here and no time to do all I want to do. Raven Lore, Runaway Romance, Rapture of Love, and Royal Girls all caught my attention above.
Oddly enough, most of my Rs are within a similar color family!

Red Volunteer
Regal Finale
Regal Heir

Royal Occasion
Red Grace
Rocket City

2 months agolast modified: 2 months agoRussian Rhapsody (heavy bloomer) is one I have kept just because of its early bloom. People always talk about lates as being season extenders, but earlies can serve that purpose too. And those earliest blooms are so welcome, whereas one is a bit sated at the end.
Remembered Kisses had an off year this year (I remember few, if any, blooms). I got the garden almost completely weeded this week, and I have aches and pains to show for it.
Ruler of Nations. Always seems to be clean. I have not seen it at clump strength.
Roses for Dallas had a quite good year. Not registered height; just above the foliage.
Riot Act --excellent performance last summer
Rogue Primate. Vigorous and sunfast. Not quite as dark as parent Arrogant Bastard and has grown taller here.
Rose Masterpiece --a reliable earlier bloomer.
Red Venom --a Hensley that came here via Debra. Height here not yet clear.
Rosie with a Ring. --a Derrow that has formed a nice clump; showy. Mike D. reported that it had an off year with him.
Rhinestone Cowboy --good plant habit. Nicely spaced scapes.
Rogue Wave --hasn't been fast to multiply
Rainbow Butterfly. Have never seen a pattern, but it's darker than pic and especially attractive against the cream wall. Gossard
Rainbow Maker --new and not heavily budded so far, but the windswept petal form is very appealing. Vigorous, but can't comment on plant habit yet.
Royal Rendezvous --big plant
Roman Cohort --had an off year because of heat and thrips, with weeks of no rain.
Regina Sitko --beautiful flower, but sun will take its toll (as it does with most).
Ruby Laser --rich early color on bloom just uner 5 inches.
Ring the Bells of Heaven --after first few years with a lot of splotchiness, it has produced very nice flowers on a fairly vigorous plant.
Ruby Grandeur has taken its time recovering from division. Sunfast blooms.
Rainbow Mesa. This Hanson is shorter growing.
Reckless Girls. This Davisson is a bit shorter than registered, but looked good last summer.

2 months agolast modified: 2 months agoReign in Me --this Korth is even darker than pic. Will be interesting to see what plant habit is when larger.
Real Wind --this later-blooming Wild cultivar will not win awards for branching or bud count, but the color attracts attention.
Royal Girls--a favorite with both Kate and me, though heat will take its toll.
Ruby Storm --reliable Stamile

2 months agoI agree. It does lose the bright color in the heat. However, in my garden it does not melt and drip as some do. Here it is on June 26 at 7:30 p.m.
