Desert Princess is a miniature daylily growing to only 12 to 15 inches with 2 to 3 inch flowers. It is a mid-season dormant diploid that blooms profusely. The color is unusual and difficult to pick up with the camera. It’s kind of a peachy-bronze-orange with a burgundy eye zone and a green throat; so cute.

Daylily Copper Summer
A 2 foot tall plant with large 6 inch flowers; the color on this one is beautiful. It seems to be blended from copper to coral to apricot; getting lighter towards the yellow throat with stamens of the same color. This early and mid-season bloomer is a dormant, diploid. It is not your average orange daylily.

The large robust plant is the present and the giant 8 to 9” bright Christmas red flowers are the bow. It is classified as UF (unusual form) because the top petals are spatulate and the lower petals are spider like, thus making the flower look star like. The early to mid-season blooming flowers have a bright yellow throat that blends out to the diamond dusted petals, kind of sparkling in the sun. At up to 36”, this dormant tetraploid stands up to summer weather.

Daylily Chicago Ruby Red
Another of the beautiful Chicago Reds; Chicago Ruby is a little rounder, fuller and darker than Chicago Apache. The gold throat stands out on this mid-season blooming 5” flower. A semi-evergreen tetraploid; it is a rapid grower. Be sure to plant it far enough away from your other daylilies so they don’t grow together.

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.
