This 18” miniature daylily has larger flowers for a miniature at about 3”. They are very dark red/purple with a glowing golden eye and a slightly ruffled edge. This color is hard to capture in a photograph and I would say that it is a little darker than shown here. It is an evergreen diploid so it does grow a little slower than the dormant daylilies here in the north but has survived many years and the foliage looks fine here in Wisconsin.

Knickknack is truly the miniature daylily to beat all miniatures. At only 14 inches it is just covered with masses of tiny 1 ½ to 2 inch blooms. It starts blooming early and it just keeps going until frost. It is an orange-gold, Semi-Evergreen, Diploid, with a green throat. The parentage is (Tropical Sherbet × Munchkin Moon). It is quick growing and hardy. Sometimes the flowers don’t open all the way until afternoon, especially in cold weather, but they have such heavy substance that they are usually still good the second day. It also sets pods easily. I can’t wait to see what the seedlings look like.

Daylily Katherine Harris
Katherine Harris is a tall beauty at 34”; an unusual form spider type it also has quite large flowers at 7”. She is a mid-season bloomer that is a semi-evergreen diploid. Branching and bud count are good and there is a bonus…fragrance. The tangerine gold blend with some streaking is eye-catching but never screams. The mid ribs and throat are also gold blending to chartreuse deep in the center. The orange stamens seem extra-long to me and are tipped in black.

Jo Barbre is a lemon yellow double daylily with a 5 ½ inch bloom on a 23 inch scape. It is a semi-evergreen diploid that blooms mid-season. It’s not really like any other double though. The center petals are very erect giving it an open airy look; almost like a double spider. The lime green throat peaks out from the center between the petals. This is my favorite double and it stands up well to heat and drought.

I think Jim picked a beauty. This poly-chrome rose/pink/cream has a ruffled edge and a tangerine throat. The 34” tall scapes hold 6” flowers that start early and continue into the main bloom season. Jim is a dormant diploid that also has nice thick substance and raised cream mid-ribs.

Daylily Jersey Spider
Spiders are flowers with long narrow petals. Unusual and lovely, they create whimsical focal points to a garden design and Jersey Spider is one of the classics. It is very tall at 46” and the flowers really grab attention at the back of the border because they are gold/tangerine in color and 8” across…wow. A dormant diploid it starts mid-season but then extends into the late season. The green throat sets off the package of this historic daylily. Petal length to width is 4 1/2.0:1) and the form is sometimes wide open and sometimes crispate (pinched, twisted or quilted).
