T daylilies 2021

5 years ago
last modified: 5 years ago

Let’s see all of your T daylilies today.

silly quote of the day: “ A good friend calls you in jail. A great friend bails you out of jail. Your best friend sits next to you and says, “ wasn’t that fun?”


My favorite T daylily is Tall Dark Stranger. I can’t say enough good things about this one. Good increase, great performer, tall and unique.


Through Dark Waters was a bonus plant that I wasn’t sure I’d keep. It had its second bloom season last summer and the blooms were 7”, it earned its keep because of the bloom size. I’m interested I seeing how it does this coming season.


Tyger River finally had its leap last season. It was a bonus, it will stay in the garden for now, hoping for another good season for it.


To Nancy With Love is being evaluated. It was added as a single fan in 2019 and needs a another season to earn its keep. I like it so far.


Toward the Blue is a garden favorite for all the right reasons. In two full seasons it added fans, increased bud count and made me drool 🤪 every day it bloomed.


Trahlyta is a favorite oldie here, it never disappoints.

Tiger Swirl was purchased locally, being evaluated and will probably stay.

Tropical Delight is a mini daylily. It is supposed to be a double but had an off season last summer. It was o e of several that didn’t like the late freezes and weird weather.

    My favorite here is Tall Dark stranger too, Sherry. It just does really well. The first season I was not impressed by its looks so much, but the 2nd season I started seeing interesting nuances that makes it stand out.

    T-Bone walker


    Tahiti Sweetie


    Tall dark Stranger has lots of buds and blooms well, but seems to put on a daily show. For all the buds it was in bloom for less than a month, but so pretty while in bloom


    Teddy Bear's Picnic


    Terry Lyninger, not a heavy bloomer or very tall, but the blooms look so good


    Thin Man


    Tikal Maid, I have several plants with this coloration, and need to thin. It is hard to decide though, why do certain colors seem to be such good bloomers?


    Time Lord


    Timeless Majesty


    Titanic Tower


    More to come

    Tooth


    Touched by Grace


    Treasure of the southwest


    Tropical Trails


    Tuscawilla Tigress


    Two Part Harmony in single rather than double form. More orange than this appears though


    Two to TAngo, a small flower that has not really done well. I decided to get rid of it and it has bloomed so well since that I am having a harder time losing it


    Love Two Sues

    I have always chuckled at tat quote, Sherrie. My favorite of yours is Toward the Blue, Nancy. The photo puts me in mind of Entwined in The vine. Nancy, I like several, Tahiti Sweetie, Timeless Majesty, but Time Lord is my favoite. I had that one and just lost it, but I always liked it. In face, may actually replace it.


    I have quite a few "T" day;lilies even though not many are actual favorites:

    Tall Ships this very tall flat daylily is more impressive than it looks in a photo



    Tempt Me


    Two Sues Such a nice one and multiplies first year



    Texas Carnival Dance


    Lets see if Houzz will let me do four for a change

    Sherry - Toward the Blue and To Nancy With Love are my favorites of yours.


    Tall Ships and Timeless Majesty caught my eye. I must be in a lavender mood this morning.


    The Ultimate Sacrifice is one of my very favorite daylilies. It multiplies well and always reblooms here.


    The Color of Wonderful is still in too much shade. This past year is the first that it didn't rebloom.


    The Dominator has had trouble multiplying because of grub attacks.


    Two Sues is a wonderful clump.


    There's A Place was new last year and had short scapes. The color is fabulous.


    Triple Delight is a delight to the eyes. Unfortunately it's a very slow multiplier here.


    Turn Turn Turn and Razor Eyes - TTT didn't bloom for several years as it was in too much shade. I moved it two years ago, and it did very well last year. It always reblooms.


    The Blues Project is a smaller flower (4.5 icnes) with great bluish colors. The scapes are heavily budded and branched, and it multiplies well. Unfortunately it won't set pods for me. I haven't tried its pollen.


    Thunder Glow was new last year. I didn't get it planted in the ground, so I hope it survives in its pot.


    TNT is another that's growing in too much shade. I moved it last fall and hope it puts on a better show next year.

    Debra, I can’t wait to see what There’s a Place does for you next season, it looks gorgeous. I’m always fighting with the shade here, like you, not enough prime spots.

    Sherry

  • 5 years ago

    A few more T's:


    The Tribble With Blue was one of my best performers last year. Good bud count and great rebloom. It's registered at 18 inches tall, but had scapes ranging from 22-26 in my garden.



    Twirling Tower was a new one. I like the motion of the petals and the bluish eye.



    Thomas Tew has not yet impressed me.



    Tranquil Waters has performed very well the past three years.



    Trance


    Tides Roll In was gorgeous on rebloom and showed some white teeth.


    Tiffany Shade

    Sherry particularly love Tall Dark Stranger & Toward the Blue.

    Nancy Tahiti Sweetie is lovely, really interesting colours.

    Kay Tempt Me is well named because it does.

    Debra The Ultimate Sacrifice is gorgeous, as is There's A Place.

    Two Sues is very popular, I can see why.

    Think Pink performs well in full sun here in the north but the soil in this bed is quite moisture retentive.

    Lots of beauties here. I can't wait to see Two Sues in our garden this upcoming season. The Dominator is nice! I don't usually go for lavender but the color on There's a Place is beautiful! Trance is one of my favorite dips.


    I love Tom Adams, but it's tender here so it goes in the greenhouse in the winter.


    Tangerine Angel is a bright small-flowered one.


    We lost Tango Lessons once, so this new one is in the greenhouse.


    Tears of a Clown is an offspring of the beloved Clown Parade.


    Tech Colors is one that has taken some time to get going. It was planted in a bad spot, but now has been moved.

    More to come . . .

    Terrorsaur is supposed to be late blooming, but I think it bloomed early last year.


    The Bride of Dracula is one of our absolute favorite oranges with teeth. It's a great grower and sets seeds well.


    Tibetan Orange is one that sulked for the first few years. After last year's mild winter, it bloomed nicely.


    I took this picture to show what a great grower Tidewater Elf is. It's just a plain yellow flower but it increases rapidly and has nice well-budded scapes. I'm glad we got it as a gift--it was a giveaway at the Region 2 summer conference held in Cincinnati a few years ago.


    The Dentist was so pretty in 2019 but didn't do very well in 2020.

    More to come . . .

    Time in a Bottle came to us mislabeled. I'm glad we got it. It consistently has a pattern in our garden.


    We bought Titanic because it is an eyed toothy. So far, I have not been impressed with either vigor or fertility.


    Topguns War Wizard was a giveaway at the Indianapolis summer conference a few years ago. It has been sort of ignored.


    I love the small graceful flowers of Toy Trumpets.


    I was not happy with Transylvanian Tango until we moved it. Now it is doing much better.

    More to come . . .

    Triple Cherries has been in the garden for many years. It often gives doubles when you hybridize with it. It sets seeds well and is a reliable rebloomer for us.



    TrueNorth Eye in the Sky is one of our Canadian daylilies.


    TrueNorth Queen Bee is another Canadian daylily. It is doing very well and is even setting seed for us.



    That's all for me.

    It turns out just two more images to share for now . Can we now have less snow and more sun so we can start over for this year some time soon. It is a wonderful thing you are doing for us Sherry . I miss the colors so much and this winter has been so grey so these posts help to lift spirits in a very dull season. Thank you !

    Sherry: You grow some of the prettiest pastels. To Nancy with Love is a delicate beauty. I always love seeing a good picture of Trahlyta too. It's one that's been on my bucket list for years.....Nancy: Teddy Bear's Picnic is interesting. I remember Debra's, and the colors were sometimes great sometimes just so so. As I said, interesting.......Kay: So many nice round ones this time, but I always get a chuckle out of the image in my head from the name Tree Turtles............Nan: I'm rather an orange fan, so Tangerine Angel and Tibetan Orange are my two favorites, although I like the deep rich colors of Tom Adams too......Debra: Thomas Tew, The Color of Wonderful and the deep rose mauve of Tranquil Waters are stand outs to me.........Heather: I'm partial to Tiger on Stilts. Nice color........My eyes are crossed trying to see everyone's pictures, so I hope I haven't missed anyone. Such pretty daylilies on a cold, snow laden day................Maryl

    Thomas Tew appears to be a bit tender here. Michael Bouman near St. Louis says that The Ultimate Sacrifice is marginal there, so I am not inclined to try it. It will be interesting to see after this winter how things perform, although cold springs can also be harmful. I hope The Bride of Dracula gets distributed so the price comes down.

    Thundercat had a good year after being on short scapes the year before.


    The Band Played On always has good height and is reliable, even if bud count is limited.


    Tahiti Sweetie --the jury is out


    The Dream Society --not registered height yet. Wish it weren't so late.


    The Future of Desire


    The Red Telephone --sometimes more pleated


    Tiger by the Tail --hasn't shown vigor here


    The Painted Desert


    Two Times Tardy --somewhat similar to Royal Renaissance, but better color.


    Tactical Deception --interesting smoky shade


    There's a Place


    Thelma Douglas --not as good as year before


    The Food Channel


    Two Sues


    Tomato Clownfish --very strong color


    Tahitian Waterfall


    Toucan Sam --good year, which suggests it likes mild winters. Previous years, low bud count.


    Tar and Feather --earlier


    Tropical Fruit Loops --I like the color on this one, and bud count is good.


    Tropical Experience --older Stamile, not fast growing, but a reliable earlier one


    The Grape Beyond --I do like this Selman.

    Heather, I’ve had enough of winter here. I shoveled snow paths in my yard for my short legged dogs. The paths are more like tunnels now. These crazy dogs like being out in the cold for awhile. Zoe ‘s leg is healing wonderfull, she’s running in the snowy paths. Hope she makes it til spring, she like basking in the sun, 11 yo today!

    Here are the ones that I grow that begin with a "T"

    TAKE MY BREATH AWAY: I was sent this one by mistake. It can be splotchy. Does not hang up. A little short for my tastes, but it is typical of Petit's intros.


    TECHNY PEACH LACE in full sun.


    TECHNY PEACH LACE: in the shade.


    TOTAL SILENCE: I like the wavy white edge.


    THIN MAN


    TORRID DANCER is the pink and Careless Dream is the cream


    TACTICAL CAT: This is a great little plant. I usually like bigger blooms, but I am using this one to hybridize with for patterns and blues. It is a Bennett intro.


    TOUCHED BY GRACE


    TIME TO FLY: This a great plant. The bloom is usually unblemished, but I think some bugs got to it.

    Mantis - The Dream Society and The Goldilocks Effect are both so pretty.

    Here are a couple of Hanson T's that I forgot.

    The Thin Air - I love the color on this one!



    Tonto's Expanding Headdress was short for the second year in a row. I think the grubs got to it again.

    Mantis, I have considered getting Tomato Clownfish. I like those strong colors. Tiger by the Tail grew to a nice clump and bloomed wonderfully one year for us, but went into a decline and hasn't bounced back. It's too bad because the flower was glorious that one year. I also like The Painted Desert.

    Mantis: The data base lists the daylily as Two Times Tarty, not tardy. I had a devil of a time finding it and I think it's really pretty............David: Take My Breath Away is an edgy one right up my alley. Not a fan of splotching though................Maryl

    Maryl, you're right. I remember that there was some quirk. Surely, Boatwright meant "tardy" (late to class), but it is registered as "tarty," which would be a prostitute.

    Nancy, I was surprised how brilliant Tomato Clownfish was. I have not seen it in a clump, but the blooms it has thrown have been superior to most in this color class, which tend to be redundant. The red edge was strong. Picture of The Painted Desert was taken at Crintonic; it is out of Inca Apothecary. I see now that the name is Crintonic Painted Desert. I think this name was changed. (CPD is in my garden now; certainly had good height at Crintonic.) In a previous Hanson catalog, it was called The Painted Desert.

    Here are some of my Ts, will require more than one post.


    Tactical Deception - shape and color can vary depending on various factors (temp, etc), but it's beautiful - two pictures



    Tahiti Sweetie - another where color can vary. I noticed last summer that It doesn't seem to hold up well in full sun on hot afternoons (I won't show those pics!). Lots of buds after it gets established.

    Tall Dark Stranger - one of the few bonuses I've kept and love. So glad I kept it!

  • 5 years ago
    last modified: 5 years ago

    Heather, my experience with Thomas Tew has been entirely different! It quickly became one of my “suitcase” lilies. Every year the very first bloom has a beige look to it but all others after that are a creamy white. The purple is a deep velvety purple with none of the red tones Debra’s seems to have. It reblooms at least three times every year and the blooms range from 6-7 inches. This goes to show how different plant habit and colors can be in different gardens. I say this not to recommend one way or the other but to give an anecdotal record of this plant in my garden. This is my favorite picture of it In my yard In May.


    This is it on rebloom last year. I do notice more of the red tones on these in 100 degree heat in August!!



    This sorta reminds me of a couple of years ago when Laura posted pictures of her garden tours. She posted Entwined in the Vine and it was a muddy mauve look that I have seen on other pictures of it. In my garden (and Kay’s and Debra’s as well I think) it has gorgeous lavender and purple shades. I would never buy it if it was muddy! So glad that is not the case here!!
