Selma Rose

8 years ago

I never really consider Dumortieri as my "real" daylily, since it blooms so much earlier than any others, it is almost finished now. Selma Rose beat out Fernstone this year, I have had Fernstone 2 years now, it bloomed 5/13 one year and 5/17 another year. Still a day or 2 before I will see blooms on it. I have been tempted to get rid of Selma, blooms are often VERY short, but the last couple of years it must have been paying attention. Or maybe it just likes all the rain we have had the last 2 springs.

Scapes are popping up all over the place, but will be maybe a couple of weeks before I see significant blooms. Fern Stone will be next, then I think Citrix.

I like this shade of pink. Clear and pretty! I have found daylilies to have very good ears. Let them hear their bags are packed, and boy do they perform!!

Selma Rose is beautiful! We too grow dumortieri but usually see Lava Flow as our first hybrid bloom. This year it might be beaten by Buddy's Betsy and Geometric Wizard. The Lava Flow that is lined out has scapes, but the Lava Flow up near the house doesn't. Strange! We do have a few that have just been planted (from the south or a greenhouse) that will beat our established ones, but they don't count in my opinion.

Our first year seedlings are usually the first to show scapes (they seem eager to bloom), but this year there is no sign of scapes yet. This bed is in shade in the morning and that might be what's slowing them down.

Can't wait for it to start here.

Isn't that the truth, Kate! I had decided last year to get rid of Arkansas Post because it only got 5 or 6 buds per scape. The only reason I had kept it as long as I did is because I thought it looked nice with another day lily, I think called Brave world. Well, Arkansas Post had over 20 buds per scape last year. It is here this year.

I think the color of Selma Rose is nice, good sized flower, and it is very early. Not a lot of buds though, never rebloomed, and as I mentioned before, most years it blooms in the foliage. It may not be here long, but getting some height is helping it.
