I daylilies 2018

8 years ago
last modified: 8 years ago

Today is I daylilies. Today's quote: " Sometimes I shock myself with smart stuff I say and do. Then, there are times when I try to get out of the car with my seatbelt on."



Indian Giver has been in the garden for a few years. Always puts on a good show considering how much sun it doesn't get. It's a great purple here and will always be here for its color.


Ice Carnival, has been in the garden for decades because it's the only white daylily I have. It's a good performer. I added two whites last season so, time will tell if it stays.


Got this one as a bonus about three seasons ago. It's a good Pink and has performed better each season, it's staying!

    Here are the I's that I grow:


    IMPERIAL DECREE: Great purple that holds up in full sun. It blooms for a long time. Pod and pollen fertile.

    IMPRINT YOUR IMAGE: Tends to canoe in the throat and not a favorite form of mine.

    INCA PUZZLE: A nice plant. It is one of the few Petit intros that reaches its registered height.

    INCENDIARY: Have to really see a strong appliquéd throat.

    INDIAN GIVER

    INDY ELECTRIFIED: not very vigorous, but I like the bi-tone look

    INDY SHOCKER: This is the best photo that I have ever gotten of this one, because I could never catch the eye. Not a rapid increaser. It is a tall one.

    INQUIRE WITHIN: Love the color of this one.

    INTELLIGENT DESIGN: Vigorous and tall. Not the best picture.

    ISABELLE ROSE: Fantastic plant. It is tall and can handle multiple blooms without leaning. This was taken in the morning. All segments cascade.



    That is it for me.


    Thanks for looking.

    I Don't Kid looks like it will do well.


    Icicles is new and therefore hardiness is not known yet.

    Identity Crisis has variegated foliage.

    Ink and Pink was a bonus from Bob Faulkner. It is a 2017 small-flowered intro.

    Interview with a Vampire took last summer off (it did bloom) after being lovely the year before.

    I don't think It's a Heartbreaker is going to like this winter.

    It's Miller Time was a bonus from Jamie Gossard last spring.

    Itza Pink Teddy is not a favorite here. It did well last year but I don't love the color.

    That's all the I's.

    Lots of great pictures everyone! We're missing some members--just of the top of my head we haven't heard from Julia, Debra, Kay, Dick, & Karen. There are probably some others as well.

    Ice Carnival


    Impetuosity

    Impetuous Fire

    Isolde, an excellent dark daylily.

    Indy Phantom, a favorite.

    That's all of the I's. Thanks for looking.

    INCENDIARY (one of the first to bloom in my garden and blooms for 2 months here.....a favorite)

    color gets very dark here when the temps get cool or it rains......

    INHERITED WEALTH (a great plant here)


    INWOOD


    INNER VISION


    INTO THE MYSTIC


    INDIAN GIVER (seems like I didn't take a proper photo of it this year.....but everyone loves this one for it's color and performance. Here it is cuddling with Bittersweet Destiny)

    I swear every photo I see of Indian Giver just about makes me want to swoon. Sherry - that and Itza Pink Teddy; David - just about everything you posted, but mostly the one you don't like as well, Imprint your Image - ha!; Debbie - I Remember You and Intelligent Design; Aaron - Indian Ripple - gorgeous diploid!!!; Nancy - Ink and Pink, definitely; Brad - Isolde is such a striking purple accented by the white midrib; Celeste - any purples you post are my favorites - LOL; Del - Instant Celebration is another Korth hybrid like Imprint your Image that David put up - it's beautiful!

    Celeste, going to have look for Incendiary since does so well for you! Another daylily with Two months of bloom in 5a would be great!

    Celeste--great purples as usual. And I just love INCENDIARY.

    Inca Puzzle --short scapes here. Surprised that I Remember You blooms on normal scapes in Ontario.

    In the Heart of It All --vigorous; always reblooms
    Imperial Empress --nice Munson
    Inimitable --very good here. Debra suggested it, though I didn't get it from her (hers died).
    In Hot Pursuit-- vivid. Parent is In the Heart of It All, but I haven't seen rebloom yet.
    Isabelle Rose --I have sung its praises elsewhere.
    Insider Trading --very popular on this forum
    Ida Mae Norris --lovely shade

    I See Stars

    Indian Ripple --especially vivid in this sun shot

    Indy Long Legs --always nice here; don't know why more don't grow it. Like many dips, takes a bit longer to establish.

    Iszy Dizzy--excellent small flowered double


    Inky Fingers---love the neon green throat


    Isabel's Spider--lovely UF cascade


    Imperial Lemon row, a favorite yellow.

    Isaac is above, a very pretty simple flower. It is a real bud builder some years. Below is Incendiary, I've seen photos where it had a neat pattern, but nothing has ever shown up here, but it blooms really great

    Inwood is an ok plant, some years it is just so so, others it blooms its head off

    Love Inherited Wealth but it hasn't multiplied much for me yet. I moved it last spring in hopes it does better

  • 8 years ago

    Mantis, that Indy Long Legs is really nice!

    Lots of pictures of Indian Ripples. It is surely a winner. Before I joined this forum, I thought I had it, but found out what I have is a noid, not nearly so nice as IR.

    Brad, love your Isolde, just did a little research on it. The color varied a lot in the images. Is the color weather dependent for you?

    Sherry

  • 8 years ago


    A very nice grouping of photos everyone. These often send me off to do more research on the plant.

    IDA'S MAGIC - a great plant here, loads of rebloom and fragrance too

    IDOO VOODOO - This one reblooms here

    IN STITCHES

    IN THE HEART OF IT ALL

    INCREASED COMPLEXITY

    INDY FIREWORKS - There have been years when I've counted 45 buds and 3 sets of scapes on this one. Since it's moved from the prime growing location in my garden, not so much.

    INDIAN GIVER - It's nice to compare photos of the same daylily in different gardens

    INNER SECRET - Reblooms here. Wow, this is a terrible photo!

    INSIDE OUT PAJAMAS

    INSIDER TRADING - I fell in love with this one on a garden tour and had to have it.

    INTO THE BLUE - survives here but it would probably like a warmer climate.

    ITALIAN KALEIDOSCOPE - fairly new here, I'm hoping it will improve greatly

    INCENDIARY

    I’M A KING BEE - scapes are shorter than the 48” registered height but I don’t mind

    I CAN’T STOP LOVING YOU - gets a lot of sun in my garden. Blooms look kind of slick by the end of the day.

    Thanks for looking!

    Having fun looking at all these beautiful daylillies - which one has the longest bloom time? Placing around fountain and would like them to last all summer…

  • 4 years ago

    urchinsushi, longest bloom time really varies. Each daylily has a region it does best in and this is a baseline but not always a guarantee. Some like constant full sun, some like some shade and the amount of blooms or season depends on that. Some rebloom extending blooms season but you can't depend on them reblooming. The more north you are the less likely. I've had some that did terrible in one part of the yard and great in another and there seems to be no reason why. I've traded for good bloomers from other and had them do well, other times not.

    The best way to have them bloom them all summer would be to have a variety based on bloom times. They have different bloom times, extra early, early, early-mid, mid, mid-late, late and extra late.

    Thank-you, appreciate your experiences and feedback! It sounds like I probably shouldn’t just “roll the dice” and hope for the best - great point about regions, sun exposure - I’ll ask at the nursery to see what’s good for my landscape situation - thanks again, enjoy the spring :)
