Daylily 'Do it Again'

Hello! I have this daylily on my list of purchases over the years and I cannot seem to find any pictures of it online and have no idea which daylily it might be in my garden. I have probably just shy of about 100 varieties and am finally trying to pair up names with the daylily in the garden! A little late to the party after collecting so many! LOL! Would be most grateful if anyone out there happens to have it and could share a picture. Thanks in advance!

    Without a photo, it would be very hard guessing which of the 80.000 + daylilly cultivars you are referring to.

    There is a picture of Do It Again in the National Gardening Association daylily database. Here is the link to the picture.

    Don't like that color. Reminds me of Stella. There's a big world out there, full of beautiful, diverse plant species. Why so many daylillies?

    Daylillies are great plants for many situations. I have a steep bank in back of my house . I have slowly covered this area with many types of Daylillies. For at least 6 weeks it’s a riot of color. They require little care . I have many types of plants but always look forward to their show.

    To answer your question, daylilies are my go-to plant for any tricky situation, whether it's a question of light or soil. For example, that spot near the house that gets full sun for about 2 months around the summer solstice, and deep shade the rest of the year. Or that spot near a maple that is waterlogged in the winter but bone dry the rest of the year. Or the sideyard with weird light patterns. Daylilies can take anything you throw at them and reward you with blooms -- any color you want (well, almost any). I appreciate them more and more with each passing season.

    Nancy, I love what you've done with your slope!

    Hoosier, that is it! Thanks for finding it. I'm not sure why my attempts failed when I was searching for it. Appreciate it!

    Nancy, that is a beautiful slope you have there!! Is that a kinetic art sculpture? Would love to see a close-up of that.

    Festiva, I've always enjoyed seeing pictures of your garden and daylilies.

    Jay, I have extensive gardens filled with many perennials, along with hundreds of shrubs and trees (beautiful, diverse plant species). Why so many daylilies? I happen to have a daylily bed and also have many daylilies interspersed in my cottage garden and tree/shrub beds. A couple weeks ago while my garden was on the Garden Conservancy Open Days Tour, many gardeners left pondering where they might install a specific daylily bed in their yards, they were so inspired by the daylily bed.

    that link has a nursery name embedded in the pic.. that might be a good place to start ...


    when i was collecting .. conifers and hosta ... i had names on both lists.. that i was searching for for over a decade ... the hunt was part of the fun ...


    i was lucky enough.. to avoid the whole daylily addiction .. lol ...

    Jay, I can tell you why I have so many daylilies. I dont like static gardens. Sure they are beautiful , but the same thing over and over and over and over and over again every day.

    With my daylilies:

    First they are hardy enough to withstand temps 40 plus celcius to -32celcius in the winter with little to no snow cover where I am located ( yes I am from Canada) . They are hardy enough to withstand growing in extremely dense Appin Blue clay , no amendments , no artificial fertilizers , no herbicides, no pesticides. and they grow beautifully. Sure drought affects their colors muting them somewhat but really it takes an awful lot of drought before they succumb.

    Secondly my garden is different every day of the daylily season . I grow all kinds of bushes and other perennials as part of the bones of the garden( and very few annuals ,most years none) however instead of a static view , my garden changes color every day. One day this daylily may be open and that section of the garden is yellow , the next it is not and instead a dayliy of another color is open and so on. The landscape changes every day . I love it and will not apologize to anyone for growing daylilies and loving them .....they love me right back

    Hey Ken! Funny thing is.....I actually got the daylily from Tranquil Lake Nursery on a road trip there! LOL! But the picture on their website doesn't appear to be the same picture as the link above. So odd and it threw me off! It has been quite a project finally trying to sort them all out. I've always been bad about not keeping track of names with my various collections. I mean, I have all the names,,,...just might not be able to match up immediately which name goes with which plant in the garden! Maybe next I'll work on my epimediums or Lenten rose......project for another day.....or year! HA!

    Signet, your garden is stunning! Thanks for sharing some pictures.

    Nancy, your slope is gorgeous. Jay, I grow so many daylilies because I so enjoy the variety of them...Living where I do, my season is generally over teos months lon and every day is different. I grow many other plants, but daylilies are my favorite for the ease of growing them and the variety....an ypoou can mulch daylilies, unlike iris so far less weeding involved. Signet those atre gorgeous photos...I am so glad you shared them!
