Daylily Audacity Bound

By Stamile – 1987

I love this large (8 inch), round, sunny bloom. This dormant, tetraploid is 30 inches tall and it’s golden yellow self has a bright green throat and is complete with a ruffled edge.

This plant has large fans so an order will be two fans rather than my normal three.

Daylily Atlanta Lamplighter

By Petree – 1985

This one was registered with a height of 28 inches and a bloom of 5 inches; but for me I think it is both taller and bigger. It is a mid-season blooming, dormant tetraploid that is light yellow, edged with gold and a green throat. This Daylily is great for a moon garden as it practically glows in the dark.

Baptisia Australis – Blue Indigo

This tough, long-lived native perennial makes a statement as an anchor plant or a hedge. Give it space as it grows to 3-4 feet and just as wide.  Wild blue indigo is the common name and it is best known as a dye plant.  It is impressive in bloom with its large spires of blue, pea like flowers.  The blue green foliage and black seed pods are also attractive. There are many hybrids available but this is the native species. Blue Baptisia will easily cross with other species. Give them full sun, and they are not picky about soil and are also drought tolerant due to a very deep root system.  Because of the deep roots they don’t transplant well.  You can cut back the foliage after bloom to make them less likely to sprawl. A member of the legume family they will not need added fertilizer because they fix nitrogen. Baptisia are loved by butterflies.
