This historic daylily is tall at 36 inches, but stands up well in the wind and is a fast grower. It sports masses of red 5 inch flowers that are red and have a very bright yellow mid rib and throat. It is a dormant diploid but is larger than most diploids.

This one is not often seen for sale. I love the color; I’m going to call it “rusty Red” but it has hints of red, orange and gold. It has a fuchsia eye zone over a gold throat and lighter colored midribs. It is a semi-evergreen tetraploid that blooms midseason and is 24 inches tall. The bloom size is listed as 6.5 inches but I think it is more like 5 inches for me.

Unregistered seedling – Krentz/Matel – 2009
I grew these from seeds I got from a friend. Seedling number: LKEast#3. This semi-evergreen tetraploid is about 36 inches tall and sturdy, with a 6 inch bloom. It is clear purple with a whitish edge, a large plum eye zone and a yellow, turning green, throat. Sometimes some streaking and veining can be seen. The petals sometime open wide and sometimes are pinched. The stamens are really cool the filaments change from gold to plum and then the stigma is gold again.

Orange Flurry is a cute little plant, it is both miniature, with 2.5 inch flowers, and dwarf, at only 17 inches tall. It is ruffled and kind of an apricot color with hints of gold, a prominent gold mid rib and a gold throat. There is also a rusty eye band. This cutie blooms early mid-season but also reblooms and has a fragrance. The plant is listed as a single flower but often doubles or produces a poly for me.

Odds and Ends is a semi-evergreen tetraploid that is 32 inches tall and holds bouquets of 6 inch blooms starting in the early to mid-season. The flowers are fragrant and are a lovely lavender with a violet eye above a chartreuse throat. If I had to pick a tetraploid that is the best grower I’d have to say it is Odds and Ends.

Many years ago I got a daylily at a garage sale that had a pod. It was my first try at growing out a daylily seedling. The plant is a dormant diploid that is 24 inches with a 4.5 inch flower. The color is light rose with some cream highlights and there is a wide chartreuse eye. Blooms midseason.

This little beauty carries masses of lavender to pink blooms that have a wine colored eyezone and a green throat. There are actually two bands in the eyezone; the outer band is a deep merlot and the inner one is more of a rose’. The dormant, diploid plant has 3.5 inch flowers on 20 inch scapes and is an early/mid-season bloomer. These measurements are smaller than what she is listed at but that is the size she is for us, putting her in the “front of the border” category. She is pretty, with a lightly ruffled edge and recurved petals and sepals, giving her perfect form.

Love you is a very pale pink, near white in color, with lightly ruffled edges and a cream colored mid rib. What makes it a standout is the intense green throat that spreads into a chartreuse halo. The plant is a dormant tetraploid. It blooms mid-season and is very fragrant. On a side note; there are many daylilies with Love You in the name that are different than this plant. Love You is a good one for the moon garden.

Unregistered Seedling – By Grant/Matel 2011
This polychromatic beauty really does look just like the sky before the sun peaks through; peachy pink with gold highlights and a green throat. The edge is more than ruffled, it has tiny golden teeth. A dormant tetraploid she is 24 inches tall with a 5.75 inch bloom. Heavy substance allows her to bloom well into the night where she practically glows in the dark.

Liberator is a little different shade of red than most of our red daylilies. It is rosy, almost rusty red and it has an eyezone that I would describe as lipstick red and a lighter rose mid rib over a green throat. It is 23 inches tall and is listed as a 7 inch flower but I believe it is more like 6 inches. The plant is a dormant, diploid that blooms mid-season.
