This fellow is a large dormant tetraploid at 24” with big fans. The velvety cherry red flowers have heavy substance and perfect form in any weather. The 5” flowers are fragrant and have lemon yellow throats but dark red stamens. The bud count is very high and branching is good, for an extended show all summer.

This daylily is a lovely shade of blue violet with blending to a little darker shade just before turning white; and then the golden throat starts. There is also a cream to white midrib and along the edge. The plant is 28” with 5” flowers. A semi-evergreen diploid that is a mid-season bloomer; the blue is really more in the eye-zone and how vivid it is can vary with conditions.

Daylily Braveheart
The color of this beauty is a dark red raspberry with an even darker black cherry eye zone. The throat is gold blending to orange and there are pink mid ribs on both the upper and lower petals. The lower petals are slightly lighter with some streaking. The scapes are about 25 inches tall with the fragrant flowers being about 4 ½ inches. It is a dormant diploid mid-season re-bloomer. Be careful not to mix him up with Brave Heart which is a little white one that looks like one of the candies.

Daylily Pixie Parasol
Pixie Parasol’ is a dainty miniature that sports masses of 2 ½” apricot flowers on semi-evergreen foliage. She re-blooms multiple times, and is ever so cute with its little green throat, and foliage that is only to 14” high. This “orange sherbet” color looks good enough to eat and you can. The substance is heavy so they are nice on the edge of a salad. This also helps them last into the night and sometimes even a second day.

Daylily Pardon Me
18” tall with a 3″ flower.
A true red with a gold throat.
This miniature blooms mid-season and then continues to re-bloom.
It is also nocturnal. This plant looks great in front of a larger daylily that has an eye-zone of the same color. I have it in front of Cherry Candy.
You could give a piece of this one to a garden pal when apologies are necessary. Dormant, diploid

Oh, and what a lovely lady she is…at 20 inches tall she has 6 inch perfectly formed yellow blooms. The flowers are fragrant and ruffled (of course). The banana yellow color extends all the way down to the base of the throat. Even the stamens are this bright banana yellow color. Being a dormant, tetraploid makes it vigorous in our northern gardens. It has big strapping leaves and thick sturdy scapes that have a huge bud count. There are often multiple flowers blooming at the same time. She starts blooming early mid-season but is also one of the latest bloomers in my garden. These flowers open without difficulty even in cold weather.

The reliably double flowers of “Moses Fire” are a burning deep orange/red with a faint golden picotee on the ruffled edge making them look like a mini camp fire. The petals are thickly packed and they are early bloomers that then re-bloom multiple times for a full season show. 5” pom-poms are held on sturdy 22” scapes. This dormant tetraploid has a bud count of 20 on 3 way branching.

Daylily Ming Snow
Ming Snow is a poly-chromatic pink/cream/peach in color. This daylily is quite exotic and soothing. The delicate beauty is enhanced by slightly ruffled edges that are dipped in the same sunny yellow as the throat which blends down to lime green. She is a 30” dormant tetraploid that performs well producing masses of 5” flowers. Bloom starts early mid-season with reliable re-bloom.
