I wanted to love ‘Helen Shooter’, but after putting up with a less-than-stellar performance in my garden for the last five years, I finally gave my plant up for adoption last summer. ‘Helen Shooter’ has huge 7-inch, light-pink flowers that appear on 25-inch-tall scapes. While the foliage was always ...

Daylily ‘Dandy Dave’ is slowly creeping onto my list of favorite daylilies. The flowers are attractive, but not something that would make me stop in my tracks. But where ‘Dandy Dave’ really shines is garden performance. This is one sturdy daylily. The 7-inch flowers grow on hearty plants with thick ...

I’ve moved my ‘Roses in Snow’ Daylily around a few times since I purchased it several years ago, but it always adjusts quickly to its new surroundings. ‘Roses in Snow’ has red flowers with an ivory edge and a lime green throat. Sometimes the flowers on my plant appear without the ivory outline, but ...

'Souvenir de la Malmaison' on January 3, 2012 I haven’t posted (huge apologies for seeming to abandon my blogging efforts) because the past has been strongly present in my garden. No blooms, roses needing rejuvenation badly, the time for pr ...

At a flower trial in Holland, five daylily cultivars were identified that regularly send up 500 blooms or more in a season once the plants are established. One of those daylilies is ‘Custard Candy’. ‘Custard Candy’ was one of the first daylilies I ever purchased. I offered it to my mother-in-law aft ...

Last summer. Now that it’s late enough in the new year that I remember to write 2012 on things, and finally cold enough to make me think its actually winter, I find myself thinking about last summer. As it approached, I was busy. Busy installing brick edging in the gardens, and addressing changes in ...

I have large plans for Spring. Seriously large. I've been on the lookout for an old corn crib since, oh, forever and I've had a hard time describing what I envision. Lo and behold! I came across this picture on a website - The Mustard Seed - and here is my vision in the flesh! We have two pads here ...

It appears I have another mystery daylily on my hands. I thought I had purchased and planted the cultivar ‘Bedouin Tattoo’, but ‘Bedouin Tattoo’ is supposed to be lavender with a bluish eyezone and a lime green throat. The flowers my daylily displays are not even close to that description, but I’m d ...
