Doodlebug is a really cute miniature daylily that is only 18 inches tall but is covered with 2.25 inch lemon yellow flowers with a dark purple eye-zone and a green throat. It is an early, mid-season, Dormant, Diploid. I love the contrast when placing her in front of a large spider of a different color.

This cute mini would be perfect for a shower gift. It works great at the front of the border being only 15” and lots of 2 1/2 “blooms just keep coming. A dormant diploid starts early and continues into the mid-season. The little flowers are pale pink with a rose eye-zone and a gold throat.

This is a seedling of Vesuvian. It is not a registered name.
A robust plant with large 6″ perfectly shaped red flowers with heavy substance. The plant is long blooming and also one of the latest blooming in my garden. Fat fans produce sturdy, well branched scapes that are about 24″ tall.
Bud set is heavy and they always open without problems even in cold weather.
This show stopper is fire engine red with a chartreuse throat. A winner! Wish I knew who the pollen parent was.

15″ ht. flowers 2.5″ – zone 3
Rusty orange with a gold throat. This one can vary on the same plant. Some are solid orange and some are slightly bicolored with gold hues on the lower petals.
This little beauty came in a group of seedlings that were billed as “Sisters of Stella”. It is not a registered variety. This daylily was a selection from the breeding program for the famous Stella De Oro, which was not registered. This is a beautiful little mini that would be at home in any collection. It has many of the same attributes as its sister “Stella”. It is a non-stop bloomer, increases rapidly and is 100% reliable.
Early midseason, extended bloom, re-bloomer
dormant, diploid

The beauty of Sandra Elizabeth is that it is very late…a daylily blooming when all of the others are done. It is yellow but is fairly ruffled. Her 6” flowers are held atop 28” scapes. She is a dormant tetraploid and so really hardy and the flowers open even when it is cold.

Daylily Salieri
30″ ht.5″ flowers – zone 3
Very dark purple with a darker eye zone.
Dormant, tetraploid
Early with extended bloom.
Not the darkest of the darks, but one of the most reliable bloomers.
SORRY WE NO LONGER HAVE THIS PLANT.

Daylily Sail On
This daylily looks “spider like” but the petals are not long enough to truly be classified as a spider. The flower opens and the narrow petals curl back (see picture). This dormant diploid is red with a large gold throat and mid-ribs. He is a mid-season extended bloomer that is 34” tall with a 5” flower.

Daylily Rustic Dream
Rustic dream is one of those that is difficult to describe. It is sort of an orangy-rusty-rose. From the throat it starts green then blends to gold and then this “rustic” color. It is 26 inches tall with a 6.5 inch bloom that starts mid-season and then re-blooms. It is an evergreen, tetraploid with 32 buds on 3 branches. The parentage is (Wildfire Tango × Enchanted Elegance).

Daylily Red Ribbons
These deep ruby red spiders do look like ribbons at 8” with a ratio of 4.7:1. They are super-tall. Big long buds held on 40” stems. Though they are an evergreen diploid they do pretty well here in Wisconsin. The star like, warm gold center really shines. The petals curl back nicely and sometimes the gold extends down the mid-rib or as a thin line along the edges.

Daylily Ralph Henry
A peachy orange daylily with a raised cream mid-rib and cream around the edge of the lower petals. The dormant diploid plant is 20” with 5” blooms. This is not the same as “Siloam Ralph Henry”. It is just “Ralph Henry”. Yes, there are 2 of them and the Siloam daylily of the same name is very popular while this one is rare.
