The lovely ladies of summer!

Daylily Chicago Apache
This is an eye catching velvet red daylily with a yellow throat that will bloom a little later than most. The 5” flowers on this dormant tetraploid are held atop 30” scapes. The plant will be a little darker and I think a bit nicer in a little shade and will be more claret red in full sun and the white to pink mid rib will show up a bit more.

Daylily Cherry Cheeks
When you don’t want a red daylily but a light pink won’t give you the punch that you want then bright rosy pink Cherry Cheeks is for you. She really has a lot going on with her apricot/yellow throat and lighter pink halo plus cream colored mid ribs and bright spots that show on the lower petals when the flowers open all the way. Even the under-side is interesting as it is the color of the throat. Each 6” flower is a little different and it sometimes develops streaks of red, pink or yellow. This 30” dormant tetraploid has six inch flowers that bloom heavily in the mid to late season.

A very feminine light pink 4 ½” flower is very early and has a beautiful fragrance. The warm yellow eye makes it even more elegant. At 32” this old time favorite is a sturdy performer that holds its flowers up where the nose can find them. It is a dormant diploid.

This large dormant tetraploid will really stand out in the garden. A bright blend of sunset colors; orange, red and yellow, on a 6” flower, held atop 36” scapes, will grab attention. The sunny yellow throat spreads to orange, and then red at the tips of the petals, with yellow mid ribs. The plant has huge fans and very sturdy scapes as well as heavy substance in the blooms, so it really stands up to our Wisconsin weather. A nice fragrance is a bonus. It starts blooming mid-season and then is listed as an extended bloomer, but in my garden it has been one of the latest as well.

24″ tall with a 4.5″ bloom – Zone 3.
A mid-season, re-blooming classic with a slight fragrance.
It’s gold with a large maroon band and a yellow throat. I keep hot, bright colors like this in my front bed so that they can be seen from the road.

Daylily Black Eyed Stella
This miniature cultivar has gold flowers with a deep orange-red eye-zone and grows to 15 inches tall with a 3 ¼ inch bloom. It has a nocturnal extended blooming habit and reliable re-bloom; it opens in the afternoon and closes the following morning or early afternoon, so it would be great in your moon garden. This daylily was a winner in the landscape category for All-American Daylily In 1994. Created from Stella De Oro, which is the most successful daylily ever, Black Eyed Stella was chosen from over 3000 seedlings. It does very well in extreme cold, but equally well in hot humid areas.
