Daylily Purple De Oro
The ‘de Oro’ in the name makes you think this will be a good performer and it does bloom throughout the season. A dormant diploid; it will grow as quickly as your Stellas. With blooms only 3” it could be called a miniature daylily, but the mass of plum purple with yellow throats does not seem little. There is some streaking in the veins and the edges are slightly ruffled. A compact plant at only 20”…enjoy.

Daylily Pumpkin moonshine
A golden yellow daylily that will stand out from the crowd. Its perfect shape and gorgeous dark red eye zone will make sure of that. It even shows the eye zone on the lower petals and the throat is an unusual dark orange color. It is a 22” dormant tetraploid that blooms early with 4 1/2 “, slightly fragrant flowers.

Daylily Primal Scream
Primal Scream does just that to your senses when you see it. The 8” tangerine/orange blooms have a ruffled edge. Depending on the weather, sometimes they open wide and perfect and sometimes they curve back and bend and twist into an unusual form. The plant is large at 34” and it is a dormant tetraploid with huge fans. It starts blooming mid-season and has a large bud count for one so large, so it keeps cranking out the color, lasting into the very late season. It has won the Stout Silver Medal, the Lambert/Webster Award and the President’s Cup Award in 2013. If you thought you didn’t like orange daylilies try this one; it will really stand out in your garden.

This fellow is a large dormant tetraploid at 24” with big fans. The velvety cherry red flowers have heavy substance and perfect form in any weather. The 5” flowers are fragrant and have lemon yellow throats but dark red stamens. The bud count is very high and branching is good, for an extended show all summer.

This daylily is a lovely shade of blue violet with blending to a little darker shade just before turning white; and then the golden throat starts. There is also a cream to white midrib and along the edge. The plant is 28” with 5” flowers. A semi-evergreen diploid that is a mid-season bloomer; the blue is really more in the eye-zone and how vivid it is can vary with conditions.

Daylily Braveheart
The color of this beauty is a dark red raspberry with an even darker black cherry eye zone. The throat is gold blending to orange and there are pink mid ribs on both the upper and lower petals. The lower petals are slightly lighter with some streaking. The scapes are about 25 inches tall with the fragrant flowers being about 4 ½ inches. It is a dormant diploid mid-season re-bloomer. Be careful not to mix him up with Brave Heart which is a little white one that looks like one of the candies.

Daylily Pixie Parasol
Pixie Parasol’ is a dainty miniature that sports masses of 2 ½” apricot flowers on semi-evergreen foliage. She re-blooms multiple times, and is ever so cute with its little green throat, and foliage that is only to 14” high. This “orange sherbet” color looks good enough to eat and you can. The substance is heavy so they are nice on the edge of a salad. This also helps them last into the night and sometimes even a second day.

Oh, and what a lovely lady she is…at 20 inches tall she has 6 inch perfectly formed yellow blooms. The flowers are fragrant and ruffled (of course). The banana yellow color extends all the way down to the base of the throat. Even the stamens are this bright banana yellow color. Being a dormant, tetraploid makes it vigorous in our northern gardens. It has big strapping leaves and thick sturdy scapes that have a huge bud count. There are often multiple flowers blooming at the same time. She starts blooming early mid-season but is also one of the latest bloomers in my garden. These flowers open without difficulty even in cold weather.
