New to forum and growing daylilies
Comments (6)Welcome to the forum, and to the world of daylilies! Curt Hanson (crintonic.com), RIchard Norris (ashwooddaylilies.com), and Karol Emmerich (springwoodgardens.com) are three names that I can think of, for hybridizers that work in cold zone areas. Most or all of their plants should be hardy to your zone. You can look at their websites, or you might be able to find their plants (some no longer sold on the websites, others at cheaper prices) on the Lily Auction (http://www.daylily.com/cgi-bin/auction.cgi). (You want to be really careful about going to the LA, though - it can be addictive and before you know it, you have tubs and tubs and tubs full of soaking bareroot daylilies!) You can also search out any daylily that has won the Lenington All American award, as they have proven performance across the nation. Some dormant daylilies that have won this award include 'Red Volunteer' and 'Mary's Gold'. If you can't find them on the Lily Auction, you can just Google them and find a seller online. You might also try some of Judi Davisson's daylilies, at least some of which are dormants or semi-evergreens and are cold winter tolerant. (Hopefully someone here with more experience can chime in on that.) Finally, I am going to put in a plug for one of my favorite daylilies (a Hite-Davisson introduction), 'Osterized'. It has been grown in both Maine and Michigan, so it should do okay for you....See Morefrom last weekend's tour, the Judie Mcgraw garden...
Comments (6)Thanks for sharing a bit of your tour. That first pink hibiscus is luscious! Barometer Soup and Battle of Jericho look outstanding! The last photo of the mixed daylily and lily planting is my favorite. Debra...See MoreDavisson Yellow from Yesterday
Comments (5)Yes, and I forgot to get pictures. This one is out front and others out back. Spend more time out in front so I see this one all the time....See MoreJ. Davisson Daylilies Have Arrived
Comments (7)Aren't Judy's plants wonderful? If they do as well for you as they have done for me, you will be very pleased1 If there was enough room here, I'd grow all of hers. They do that well! A few weeks ago, I lifted and divided MEAN GREEN for the first time since getting it when it first came out. (I had donated two double fans to Regional meetings I'd attended, and also wanted to give a piece to a friend.) Was worried that I wouldn't have much left over after taking 6 fans off, but there are at least 8 fans left! Great plant....See Moreorganic_kitten
