lots o' daylilies

7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago

Last year at the end of the season I bought a lot of random daylilies on clearance with little idea of what they were (I mean they're daylilies they're always awesome haha), and I received a few as gifts. So this is my first serious attempt at growing them!
Also can anyone help me ID these?
What are your DLs looking like this year?

    Kali, number 4 looks like Fiordiligi. It is a very good daylily, should multiply quickly and have lots of blooms.

    I don't recognize any, well maybe #6 if it was early, could be Custard Candy?

    last i heard.. there are over 40 THOUSAND named varieties ... and its been a few years.. so it wouldnt surprise me if the DL nuts are over 80 THOUSAND named varieties ... they are almost as bad as the hosta people... lol ...


    hey.. not bad.. this link says: "As of May 2018, there are nearly 89,000 registered cultivars! " ... scroll down a bit.. and its been another 14 months.. so... probably over 90k ... lol ..

    regardless.. its fun to talk about.. and speculate ...


    where was this clearance bin ... big box.. or a place that might have unique stuff ....


    anyway.. good luck.. a couple of these look pretty common in the sense they look vaguely familiar to me.. so you might get lucky ...

    Ken - I had no idea how many there were haha I figured a couple hundred. It was at Home Depot, some.lf the bags just said "mixed", one I know said Grape Magic but I always take their titles with a grain of salt. I bought a "Tiffany" rose from a big box stores that turned out to be Olympiad.

    ok... bigbox.. would mean they got an order of say 10,000 to cover all their stores.. so most likely.. they are the older more common varieties .. and maybe you will get a name or two ...


    bottom line.. who cares.. you can barely kill the things... and they are gorgeous.. often reblooming for a month or two... when everything else is in summer dormancy ...


    just do yourself a favor.. never look thru a catalog.. or today.. a WWebsite ... with your credit card handy ... lol .. next thing you know.. you will be getting a hundred more in the mail ... lol .. you might be surprised how cheap a single division or two might be.. you just will need to grow them for a few years.. to get those gorgeous clumps ... i'll do you the favor.. and not provide a link .. lol ...

    Even if somebody recognized them, I would doubt the ID not just because of the sheer number of daylilies, but because of what seems to be color variance. I'm very new to daylilies, but in the few I've had the color variation between online photos and reality is significant. I'm not just talking about hyped-up catalog photos, but also photos of gardeners' individual cultivars with the same name. Your #6 reminds me A LOT of Wahpeton's Wish, which I planted last year. Description is of a creamy peach, but mine was more of a flat out cream. I got mine from GH Wild on clearance. They do GREAT "let's get rid of them" sales. If that's where you got yours, I'd just say #6 is Wahpeton's Wish. Could #4 be Bama Music, which I also got from GHW?

    Number 4 is not Bama Music it is a bitone . The daylily in your image is not .
