Daylily Knickknack

By Hudson – 1983

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

By Reinke – 1999

Daylily Katherine Harris

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.

Daylily Jo Barbre

By Holman – 1974

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.

Daylily Jim’s Pick

By Wild – 1971

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

By Grovatt – 1973

Daylily Jersey Spider

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).

Daylily James Marsh

By Marsh-Klehm – 1978

James Marsh developed the “Chicago” series of tetraploids and the “Prairie” series of diploids. Daylily ‘James Marsh’ has a large, sun-fast red flower with a contrasting yellow throat. It also has a subtle change in color near the throat, turning fuchsia that really makes this round perfectly formed flower pop. Held atop 30” scapes, the 5 to 6” flower has heavy substance and rarely gets water spots. A dormant tetraploid, it starts blooming earlier than most and continues through the main season. Another bonus is the slight fragrance.

Daylily Indian Giver

By Ferguson – 1991

“Indian Giver” is a winner with its classic form, ruffled edges and awe inspiring colors.  It is blue/violet to fuchsia with a slightly lighter halo.  The ruffles are white and the throat starts chartreuse and blends to yellow then white.  It is an early mid-season re-bloomer, medium sized at around 22” with 4” flowers.  It is a fast growing semi-evergreen diploid.
