This stately, historic daylily is 66 inches tall and has a 3 inch trumpet shaped flower that is golden yellow with a rusty orange eye zone. It is a mid-season/late bloomer; one of the latest in my garden, and it also blooms into the night. A dormant, diploid, it is also supposed to be fragrant and it has nice st
rong stems to support bunches of little flowers dancing well above the near by plants.

This is a “Wow Plant”. It’s got a huge 10 inch bright crimson red flower with a wide golden throat that turns green deep inside. It’s tall at 40 inches but won’t tip over even with a bud count of 25. He starts blooming in the early to mid-season but then reblooms. Classified as a cascading unusual form, it is a semi-evergreen, but seems to fine here in northern Wisc
onsin. Huge and spectacular! This one will have two fans instead of our normal 3 due to its size.

Huge 8″ bloom, 34″ tall, Mid Season. If you are looking for something big, here it is! Pale yellow blooms are 8″ across and abundant. Makes a mass of color and is one of the favorites our garden visitors. This color is great for the moon garden as it seems to glow in t
he dark, and it is fragrant. Semi-Evergreen, diploid.

Wow, this plant is truly huge, At 60 inches tall (152 cm) with 8.5 inch blooms (22 cm) it is really impressive. It is brilliant red above a large star shaped yellow throat. Stamens that are also bright red and a light ruffle set it off. A super hardy dormant, tetraploid that blooms mid season also keeps going and goin
g well into fall with a bud count of 23 on 5 nicely branched branches. Fertile both ways; this means lots of fun for those that have the space for giant seedlings.

Symphyotrichum novae-angliae, commonly called New England aster, is a native perennial which is most often found in moist prairies in the eastern half of the US. It is hardy to zone 4 and heat tolerant to zone 8, and although it is large and needs some space it is not invasive and does fine in the garden. It grows to 3 to 6 feet and spreads to 2 to 4 feet. Plant more than one for a real show. The size depends on the moisture provided and the strain that you have. Pinching back in July will keep it shorter and delay flowering. Daisy type flowers with purple rays and yellow centers that are about an inch wide, appear in in abundance in late August and September. The plant likes full sun and is loved by bees and butterflies. Cut back to the ground in fall to avoid seedlings. The genus name comes from the Greek symph, meaning coming together, and trich, meaning hair; in possible reference to the flower anthers.

This hosta will form a magnificent clump given time. Reaching 20 inches tall the 13 x 10 inch leaves are topped with 48 inch scapes that have white flowers. The spectacular dark green foliage has a wide yellow margin that develops a more creamy white appearance as the summer heat moves in. Light shade will keep it looking nice. The leaves are cordate, ribbed and have wavy margins. This Montana sport can reach 4 feet across and, having an upright habit, the long pointed leaves with good substance are stunning.

Unregistered seedling – Krentz/Matel – 2009
I grew these from seeds I got from a friend. Seedling number: LKEast#3. This semi-evergreen tetraploid is about 36 inches tall and sturdy, with a 6 inch bloom. It is clear purple with a whitish edge, a large plum eye zone and a yellow, turning green, throat. Sometimes some streaking and veining can be seen. The petals sometime open wide and sometimes are pinched. The stamens are really cool the filaments change from gold to plum and then the stigma is gold again.

Odds and Ends is a semi-evergreen tetraploid that is 32 inches tall and holds bouquets of 6 inch blooms starting in the early to mid-season. The flowers are fragrant and are a lovely lavender with a violet eye above a chartreuse throat. If I had to pick a tetraploid that is the best grower I’d have to say it is Odds and Ends.
