The saints look good here! Shelby always looks good in your garden. Everything You Desire has wonderful color. Does it hold up well in our heat? All American Chief is a stunner. Garden shots look lush.

Kate - Everything You Desire holds up pretty well when days are in the 90s. It fades some, but still has a pretty color at the end of the day.

Debra

Yeah, a photo of Shelby, yours is wonderful, it’s a favorite to see in members gardens every season. Grape Twizzler really caught my eye in that photo, standing tall and proud. Lovely clump shots today, keep them coming!

Sherry

Sherry - Grape Twizzler is extra tall this year. It's registered at 30 inches, but has always been at least 36 inches tall. This year the tallest scapes are 46 inches. I'm not sure why it grew so well this year.. I moved it out of the shade two falls ago, and it really seems to like it's sunnier spot.

Debra

I love the color on Everything You Desire. Will have to look that one up........All American Chief is great. The colors remind me of Wayah Valley. Vibrant and cheerful...........I have always admired your Shelby. It's so pretty.............Maryl

Beautiful clumps and the pic of the different ones together. Your seedling bed is looking good. Integrated Logistics did not do well here. Pretty Desirable has clumped up nicely (thank you Debra) so hoping more blooms this year if it ever sends up its scapes. We are way behind this year. Any sighting of Japanese Beetles?

Julia

Julia - I"m sorry to see Integrated Logistics did not do well for you. It's such a solid performer her - multiplies like crazy and blooms pretty well in part shade. I'm seeing Japanese beetles mating on my near whites and crushing them to death when I can. With all the grubs I have, there have to be a lot every year, but I only see a few.

Debra

Maryl - All Americaon Chief still looks pretty good at the end of most days. It overwinters nicely in a pot. Mine grew in a pot for probably six years. But it only has this kind of spectacular multiplying and bud building when it's in the ground.

Debra

Shelby and Everything you Desire are my favorites here too. My Integrated Logistics is short this year, but blooms have been nice. Good to see Silver Sword, I got it this spring and will be surprised if it blooms. With the odd spring we had, my spring plantings have not done a lot. They are green, look healthy, but not tall foliage.

Nancy - It's interesting that Integrated Logistics didn't perform well for Julia and has short scapes for you this year. Since it's from Northern Ohio, I just assumed it would perform beautifully everywhere. Some years here have been better than others for it, but it would always make my Saints list, rather than the Sinners.

Debra

SHELBY is one that has eluded me. I will have to track down a piece of this one. EVERYTHING YOU DESIRE I have wanted since its introduction, but I will not be tempted to buy it, because the newer Petit intros tend to be bloom in the foliage for me. I still love the color. PRETTY DESIRABLE has now managed to work its way on the list to add. Those who grow PD, how does it compare to one of its parents WEBSTER'S PINK WONDER. I grow WPW and is PD a superior plant?

David

David - I don't grow Webster's Pink Wonder, so I can't make a comparison. But I grow several of its kids, and they are all great!

Debra

Everything looks great~! My Computer monitor died first thing yesterday morning, so I have been without a computer for a little more than a day.

All American chief look wonderful. And Integrated Logistic is lovely I like Silver Sword and Everything You Desire is beautiful. I really liked seeing both bed post. What a nice post, Debra!

kay - Did you have to get a new monitor for you computer? All American Chief really is a great daylily for landscaping.
