Another daylily order (the obsession continues!)

14 years ago

I couldn't help myself. I had to place another order that is due to arrive mid-August. If anyone has any of these and can tell me about them (good or bad) I would appreciate it. Thanks! Here's what's coming:

JOLYENE NICHOLE

FAIRY TALE PINK

SPIRITUAL CORRIDOR

INWOOD

OLE OLE

COSMOPOLITAN

MINI PEARL

BARBARA MITCHELL

LAKE NORMAN SPIDER

LAURA HARWOOD

SPACECOAST FANCY DANCER

RUBY SPIDER

ETCHED EYES

REAL WIND

BEAUTIFUL EDGINGS

and an unregistered hybrid BETTY WARREN WOODS x FOOLED ME

It's funny that I said at the beginning of the season that I had limited space left in my garden. I just keep planting! If need be, I'll just dig myself a new garden!

Jason, Of course you couldn't help yourself! We all know that! Why would you want to?

You will love Ruby Lipstick! such beautiful color! Spiritual Corridor is a perfect, delicate bloom. Those are the only ones I have that you ordered, but there are really some beauties there. I have about ten to place so far...and they will all get placed, yours will too. Those are lovely additions to your already lovely yard!

Fairy Tale Pink is the very first daylily I ever saw in a nursery and I walked toward it from aisles away- I love it. It gets a lot of simultaneous blooms, is fragrant, has a faint shimmer, and is hardy.

Lake Norman Spider does really well for me, too, and I rarely see a bad flower. Both plants I have grown in big containers for 5 years.

I think you will like Laura Harwood. It does very well here and attracts attention. I wonder about the Spacecoast for zone 5. Julia has posted on it; maybe she can say more. Beautiful Edgings is both beautiful and vigorous. It is quite tall; does take a lot of room in the garden.

mantis oh - These are being ordered from a Zone 4 garden and are all supposed to be hardy to that zone so me being 5b should be safe. They didn't have very many Spacecoast varieties (maybe 4) and I'm sure it's because most of them wouldn't be hardy in the colder zone.

Re: Fairy Tale Pink. I don't know how hardy it will be in your zone, but it's been a lovely addition to our garden. Hope it will do well for you, because I think you will fall in love with it. Avedon

I used to have JOLYENE NICHOLE but the scapes are really short which I didn't like. Beautiful large flowers though. BEAUTIFUL EDGINGS is just a truely lovely flower and does really well here. I am thinking I have REAL WIND but having a mental block and just can't remember.

But I am not surprised you got more daylilies. Getting more daylilies is the right choice :-)) You can always dig up more lawn and expand the garden beds.

I think you made some very good choices.

RUBY SPIDER is very impressive with its large blooms

FAIRY TALE PINK has that wonderful veining. Some people don't care fore it, but I love it.

Vickie - Thanks for the picture of Ruby Spider. It is beautiful! Certainly an attention getter.

Rita - I knew that Jolyene Nichole had short scapes so I am going to put it at the front of one of the borders.

You made some excellent choices. Fairy Tale Pink is so lovely, and Beautiful Edgings is one of the best cultivars I have in my garden. It did take it a couple of years to come into its own, but it was well worth the wait.

Jason, I don't have a big collection, but BEAUTIFUL EDGINGS is my favorite. It is breathtakingly beautiful, increases well, tall but not too tall, and is rain and heat resistant. I like her way better than some of the pricier ones.
