Replacing daylilies to improve late season interest.
Comments (11)I have the regular Limelight which is gorgeous but big and really brightens but if you worry about the color then they're out. As for the Ninebarks, one of my favorites and have quite a number, but they also get 7 foot or so. I did add a Vanilla Strawberry - it's young but lovely. Starts white blooms and pink up on into end of summer/fall. I just bought Hydrangea Little Honey which I hope works out here and may be what you need. Yellow leaves and white blooms. That might be what you are looking for. Other than those, you might try some of the burgundy Weigela's that remain small. I have Dark Horse. Blooms early but atleast you have the dark foliage the rest of the time. Conifers - a whole bunch of gorgeous dwarfs in blue or gold you could add in there. Go over to the conifers forum for some real eye candy so you can spend a lot of time deciding just which you are interested in.

Comments (22)Julia, I started adding bulbs to a few of my daylily beds where the daylilies are planted rather randomly. Since they don't bloom at the same time they can go anywhere. I didn't put in daffodils just tulips, alliums and narcissus. It really makes your gardens look nicer in the spring. I try to mark each clump with a stick or something or before you know it I am planting something over the bulbs and digging them up! I also put in many lilies although I was blessed with beetle for the first time last year so I don't know where that's going. I put shorter pot lilies around the front of the beds and taller ones mixed throughout. We just had a lady came and talk to our hort group on Tuesday about bulbs, specifically tulips. She came from Holland in 2007 where they grew tulips for the international cut flower market. She said your tulips will last much longer if you dig them up every summer and give them a rest in a cool dark place, then plant again in the fall. Too much work for me but I remember my grandmother always doing that. Every June or July her bulbs would be under her picnic table drying out. This lady also said the older varieties will last for many more years than the newer ones. Try to buy the biggest size bulbs you can. And while planting them deep protects them from frost and freezing, the deeper you put them the more energy the bulb has to use to grow stem up that far. I didn't really think of that before. It's sort of a trade-off I guess. Maybe not too deep and mulched? Many of the tulips I had around my house didn't bloom this year. I think they got frosted as the flower was about to come up. Our speaker said they should still be fine for next year, maybe better as the plant didn't waste energy on a flower yet still had leaves to send energy to the bulb. I guess I will see. The ones further out in my beds did fine and after such a mild winter I found they had multiplied. So did my lilies. Daylilies and spring bulbs are a great combination as they have separate seasons so go for it! It's like planning the same garden twice.
