Favorite pink daylilies
Please show us your favorite pink daylilies. It’s really windy here today, a bit tricky to do the yard clean up I need to do. I brought home some 50% off plants from my local nusery yesterday and got them all planted…..no daylilies.
A new addition to the garden with first blooms, Ruffled Masterwork, Great so far.
Neon Flamingo, love the color.
It’s a Pink Teddy, is a great performer, has rebloomed for me in the past.
Banshee Whisper has had great increase, trouble free.
Belle Cook a nice oldie for the front of the border.

3 months agoNice pinks! Belle Cook is my favorite of these.
Here are 5 of our pinks.
Buddy's Pinkie is one of the few narrow-petaled toothies we have.
We consider ourselves lucky because Candy-coated Confection was a bonus plant. It has become one of our favorites.
Heavenly Be My Valentine is a late bloomer.
Heavenly Lovers' Lane is quite large.
Je Suis Charlie might become my favorite pink is it performs well. It was buried in weeds the last couple of years but has been moved now.
That's all for me.Nancy

Your favorite pink daylilies for deep south??
Comments (0)Hi, I'm looking for beautiful pink (Not a muddy pink, can be light or mid pink. I'd prefer the whole daylily not be "hot pink." I'd like evergreens and they need to be reasonably priced. I live in central Florida. Thanks so much for your help. I lost a bunch of daylilies from too much rain during Tropical Storm Fay last year....See MoreYour Favorite Dark Pinks
Comments (21)Growgirl, I second your nomination for Dragon's Eye! It's a great pink and I also have had mine for years and it will always be here. It just blooms and blooms! Since you already posted it I will select 3 more dark pinks I grow and love. But Dragon's Eye is definitely on my list of favorites. Celeste I love, love, love this one. And to think it was a bonus that I didn't think I wanted, that is until it started blooming. This is everything I want in a daylily. Hardy, healthy, sturdy tall scapes and great bud count, never fails to open perfectly. CASTLE CAMELOT FORSYTH FLYING DRAGON Huge blooms of pink Bubble Yummin' Mama I have a peculiar relationship with her....some blooms are a disaster and then most are spectacular....so usually I love her. The pink is just SO PINK and the blooms are huge and ruffled that I can't resist her. She blooms for a very long time here....See MoreFavorite Pink or Pink Blend good as cut roses
Comments (22)I planted Beverly last year, I'm not sure yet how much I'm going to like the blooms, but I do think they will be very attractive, I'm anxious to see what it does this year. It is one healthy rose bush and I believe it is going to be prolific, and it is very fragrant! Mine is on multiflora. Beverly is the light pink one in the middle....See MoreFavorite Pink Daylilies from 2020
Comments (52)Brad you are absolutely correct . Thanks for pointing that out . I have removed the image from the post . It is no doubt a result of either my dogs tearing up the tag and someone just plunking one where ever or tag was chewed up with the lawnmower and hubby found a loose tag and put it there . I will have to dig the plant up come spring as I have a name tag planted under every plant so I dont end up with a noid as a result of any mishap . I learned my lesson the hard way years ago so now I put a tag under a plant , plant tag in the ground at 3 oclock when facing the plant and the tag that you see as you walk along the gardens....See MoreRelated Professionals

3 months agoSherry, I love Banshee Whisper and Neon Flamingo. Such great colors and form.
Nancy, Heavenly Lovers' Lane is absolutely gorgeous!!! I love the design, form, colors etc. Je Suis Charlie is also quite pretty.
Castle Pinkney is such an incredible bloomer year after year.
I really love Chance Encounter.
Beryl Quinn is an unusual color. It is usually a dark pink but can vary.
Chance Encounter x Full Grown is one of my favorite seedlings.
VT Rose Rosy, a great late and good for hybridizing.

3 months agolast modified: 3 months agoNancy - I do like the looks of Heavenly Lovers Lane.
Brad - Chance Encounter X Full Grown is my favorite of your pinks.
Here are some of mine:
Bubblegum Delicious was always one of my favorite pinks. I dug it early to have it ready for the move, but it died in the extreme August heat.
Bubblegum Queen is doing well here, and it has Bubblegum Delicious as one of the parents. So I still have the genetics to work with. I have three good-sized clumps of this, and I look forward to seeing how it performs in Indiana. Unfortunately it doesn't like being divided, 0r moved so it may be a couple of years until it will perform well here.
Judy's Jewel X Bubblegum Queen #1 was one of my best performing pink seedlings last year. It multiplies well, had 18 buds last summer and rebloomed. Visitors to the garden always commented on it. However, it is an evergreen, so I fear it won't fare as well here.
Judy's Jewel X Bubblegum Queen 2 was short last year. The first year it bloomed it was 28 inches tall, but last year it was only 24 inches. I don't know it the grubs got to it or the harsh winter caused the shorter scapes. It also had fewer buds last year. However, it did rebloom. It's a semi-evergreen.
Pink Extraordinaire X $exy Samantha #3 is always a favorite pink. It's an evergreen, and I don't have it planted in a sheltered place, so I don't know what its future will be.
Pink Aloha X Bubblegum Queen #2
Pink Aloha X Seedling
The Color of Wonderful
Grandma's Smile X Bubblegum Delicious
Ruth Watkins Davidson
Sweet Child of Mine
Divas in Diamonds
$exy Samantha X Bubblegum Delicious 1
Grandma's Smile X Dearest Valentine was my best performing pink, and the best performing plant in my entire garden. It had bud counts from 16-30 and rebloomed well despite hot, dry conditions.

3 months agoI might as well get in on the pink parade.
CHANCE ENCOUNTER: A consistent performer
FASHIONAIRE: A favorite Bennett intro throwing a polytepal bloom.
HUSH LITTLE BABY
AIN'T SHE NICE
BIG HEARTED LADY: Another Bennett pink which is climbing the ranks and probably a top 10 plant.
WREN'S SONG: Tall scapes and well budded.
SUCH A FLIRT: Arrived in the Spring. This is a Ginny Pearce intro. I do like her plants. I purchased it because to my eye it has a diploid look for a tetraploid. It is probably the white midribs that make me think that, since so many of the Bennett intros have a white midrib (LOL).
TRULY ANGELIC: Fantastic plant.
That is all from me.
