J daylilies 2020

Its time for the J daylilies to strut their stuff! But first, the quote of the day: “ My definition of an intellectual is someone who can listen to the William Tell overture without thinking of the Lone Ranger.”

Jolyene Nichole has been here a couple seasons, it’s a true pink here.

Joan Derifield was added fall of 2019, it had a few blooms for me. I’m hoping it does well here.

    Lol Sherry, count me as a non intellectual then because I grew up watching the Lone Ranger. It is hard not to make the association.

    Those are two beauties you have.

    Didn't the opera adapt from the Lone Ranger? Maybe not LOL.

    I had Jolyene Nicole several years, I always loved the huge beautiful flowers. In downsizing it left my garden though. I love Joan Derifield. Mine has been here a couple of years too, but I think mine is in too much shade. Janice Brown is a pretty one, peren.

    Almost forgot to post my photos, not many Js

    Jamaican Me Crazy. I have had it for years, it did ok, but not spectacular. I moved it and it has been a great plant since


    Jamaican Music, I recently moved it and hope it improves in performance


    Here is my Janice Brown, not sure if it made it through the drought


    Jedi Dot Pierece is so similar to Jolyene Nicole, the only way I can tell the difference most years is that J. Dot Pierce has a faint halo. It will be leaving my garden probably for the same reasons as Jolyene


    Jerry Hyatt, love this one


    Jersey Spider



    John Kirkland is a really good double. My photo is not a good one, but it really glows, lots of blooms, usually reblooms and almost always doubles


    Juanita's Picotee Delight


    Jumping Jack was new last year, pretty splotchy. I hope it clears up with maturity


    Jelly Roll Morton was new last spring

    I had more than I thought, here are 2 more

    Jim Brown



    Jay is not a huge daylily, but in person the color is unusual


    Jerry Nettles was a good performing daylily til I moved it I think it likes more protection from the weather.


    Ok, I can't count, 4 total with Jan's Twister

    There are some pretty J's already posted. Sherry, how did you get a bloom on Joan Derifield if you just got it in fall? That one has never rebloomed for me. I do love its color.

    SOMEHOW I LOST MY PICS OF JELLYROLL MORTON. That's all for me.

  • 6 years ago

    Jelly Roll Morton and Judy's Jewel are my favorites of the bunch so far.


    Here are a few of our daylilies starting with J.


    John Bassilli is one of my favorites.


    I think Janet's Magic looks better in the picture than she does in person.


    I really enjoyed Jean Clement last season.

    Jason Salter is a cute miniature diploid.


    Joan Trundle was new last season.


    Jungle Fury bloomed for the first time last season. I was happy with the color and the teeth.


    I think Just Another has an awful name. The flower doesn't wow me, but the plant is healty and vigorous.


    That's all for me.

    Love all the pinks. I always do. I think Celeste's shot of Jody Ann is my favorite and for a UF Nan's Jean Clement is eye catching too. Debra: Your Judy's Jewel is one I look forward to seeing also. It is very striking with that edge..........The only "J" I have is Joan Senior, and I'm sure someone else will post it sooner or later. It's an excellent grower for me. I grew Jay Farquhar here and it looked bad in our hot sun or even our part hot sun. Mary's Baby is the only purple/maroon I've tried that looks good to me, so I'll stick with her. ...............Maryl

    Lol, Debra, I had a senior moment! My Joan Derifield was planted in fall 2018 and had a few blooms last spring.

    Laurie, Nancy and Celeste, I like your Janice Brown!

    Nancy, does Jersey Spider poly often? Love that Jellyroll Morton.

    Debra, Jane Deavers Dream is an eyecatcher, I hope my Joan D. Looks as good as your soon.

    Celeste, Jerry Hyatt is so pretty, I’m guessing it wouldn’t look as nice in my soil. I’m hoping someone else is growing it and posts another photo of it.

    H. Nancy, I can see why John Bassilli is one of your favorites, it’s lovely. I love Jean Clement, such great color, love the form.

    Heather, I’m glad you posted Jerry Hyatt, it looks great in your garden, I will have to consider it when room is available here.

    Sherry - Thanks for the explanation.

    Celeste - I love your photos of Jackie Canner and Jody Ann!

    Hoosier Nan - I always love your photos of John Bassilli!

    I agree about Jackie Canner, Jody Ann and John Bassilli. Those 3 really caught my eye. Sherry, I forgot to answer you about Jersey Spider poly. This last year was the 1st time I have ever noticed it to poly, and caught 2. It is a large clump with lots of blooms so maybe I have just missed them.

    a few more : Here is John Peat


    Just Plain Bill is pretty but has very little substance

    Just One Kiss .....fairly new to the gardens

    Heather - Just Plain Bill has such a gorgeous face. It's too bad about the substance. I've had daylilies like that - gorgeous faces and little substance - that I moved out. Jerry Hyatt is gorgeous in your garden too!

    Kate - What a funny story about the sisters' labels!

    Debra, it is funny-at least to me-before smart phone days when one could pull it out and look up the plant-relied on the Eureka a lot! I was curious after I wrote this and went back to some old lists-one of the others was one in the Cragmoor series of daylilies and they had labeled it Craig Moore. For at least a year, I had Joy Lane and Craig Moore labeled as such in my garden. Did not really matter to me then-those were the early days!!!!!

    Memories of those early daylily growing days. I remember thinking, Okay, I have 2 red daylilies, an orange, a yellow, and sort of a purple (purple d'oro). I won't get any more cause I have all the colors. I don't want to think about how many daylilies I have now, much less the colors!

    Yeah, that's the way we started too, but that didn't last long. We now have over 1000 varieties (and more coming this spring).

    These Js are really hitting the spot! I will go through later and comment on all of yours when I have more time. Here's mine:

    Joan Derifield. It took a couple of years to get going, but now it blooms like crazy.

    Joan Senior, my whitest, reliable.

    Jolyene Nichole took 3 or 4 years to really get going; I almost got rid of it, but it does fine now. As you can see by the tag it took me awhile to learn to spell it!

    Jack Sprat


    That's all for me. Will comment on yours later, quite busy now.

    Brad, now I am wondering if I should move my Joan. I can't remember if I got mine in spring or fall 2018, but maybe I should leave it where it is. It bloomed ok this past summer. It gets some shade, but at least 6 hours sun. I do love the blooms

    sherrygirl zone5 N il thanked Nancy 6b
  • 6 years ago

    Nancy, Joan gets a fair amount of sun and does well. However, it had been getting a lot of shade until I took a tree down in 2018, and it still did well. I know that is not really much of an answer.

    Oh boy Brad , I love Jack Sprat !!!!!!!

    Celeste I was able to track down Jewel of the Oasis this past summer/early fall (not easy here in Canada) . Sure hope it looks as lovely as yours

  • 6 years ago

    Brad: There's my Joan Senior. It's a good picture of her too. Such a nice form. A few years back she repeated on me 3 times. Never did it before nor since. Still, she blooms for a long time anyway. She gets full, unrelenting sun here and takes it in stride. A true oldie but goldie.................Maryl

    Found a few more images of some of my J daylilies . I love each and everyone of them
