K daylilies 2024

Show us your K daylilies today. I only have two but planted two more K’s last season….hope to see blooms on them this summer.

Bad weather continues here. Last evening brought freezing rain with hazardous sidewalks, side streets and parking lots. Main roads were ok. Tonight we have fog with very low visibility.….stayed home today.

How was your westher the past two days?

Kansas Kitten had nice blooms last season just not enough.

Kissed by Moonlight did a bit better last season, had a few more buds. The color varied from day to day. This photo is more pink, some blooms were more lavender. Thanks, Debra!

    Heavy rains and temps in the 60s will quickly take care of the remaining patches of ice and snow! Freezing rain and ice are the worst, Sherry!!!

    Not many Ks here either.

    Kensington Plantation was a bonus plant. I really like it.


    Karin Cook


    Kierabel


    Kingdom of Hearts needs to be moved. It is not performing well in its current shaded spot

    It is rainy here. Near 60 degrees. Sherry, I like Kansas Kitten. Kate, I like Karin Cook.

    Kirsten's Corsage is pretty but not the best plant, low bud count, etc.

    Karen's Curls great bloomer but leans a bit

    Kent's Favorite Two is quite reliable and can endure the sun.

    That's all I have

    Warm temps (50s) and light rain yesterday finally washed away all the snow and ice, and I was finally able to get to the grocery store. It's raining hard and windy today. Rain is forecast for the rest of the week, which could cause localized flooding, but will probably get us out of drought conditions.


    Here are my K's:


    Kara Louise lost fans last year and was shorter than usual.

    Kentucky Lucky had a good season with at least one scape with 20 buds.


    Kindred Jewel was very short last year and had some thrip trouble. It's never done well where I have it planted.


    Kingdom Without End has never multiplied much for me.


    Kiss of Paradise didn't bloom much last season.

    Sherry - Kissed By Moonlight has so much more color for you than when it grew here. I never saw it looking pink though. It was a very pale lavender here.

    It's in the low 50's here with drizzle. Freezing rain was predicted for yesterday, but we ended up not getting any. That's ok with me. The ice is the worst.


    Kennesaw Crossfire has interesting color (when it's not splotchy like this one is), but it's not a very good performer here.


    I really like King Crab.


    Klaatu Barada Nikto is a good performer, but I don't love the flower. Bob does so it stays.


    Here is Krakatoa Katie trying to double. Most of the blooms were single this season.


    That's all for me.

    Debra, Kingdom without End is a beautiful color and great form. Too bad it doesn't multiply much for you. I also like Kindred Jewel.

    Nancy, I too really like King Crab!

    I got King Crab a while back; am eagerly awaiting its first bloom. Kingdom Without End is not a fast multiplier, but it has been divided once. Kensington Plantation, I see, is out of Victorian Lace. Very interesting. Kansas Kitten is a good performer here.

    Katherine Caldwell is an earlier bloomer. Not a rapid multiplier.


    Kiss My Aura looks like a bitone, though it is not registered as such. Around 5.5 inches. Out of Enchanting Esmerelda, but usually better height.


    The old Killer. Modest bud count.


    Katherine Marin was not as good as in 2022. Picture from 2022. Good height. Sometimes doubling, which I find less appealing.


    Kingdom Bound is in my view a superior cultivar in regard to color, bud count, and height.


    Kingdom Without End after division the previous year


    Emmerich's King of the Ages, a later bloomer. Moderate increase. Good height.


    Kansas Kitten in 2022 before division.


    Kansas City Kicker --a shorter Salter out of Sabine Baur. Color can be quite nice (and cleaner than Sabine), but didn't like 2023.


    King Kahuna --it is a nice double, though short.

    I only have one for this category and surprise surprise surprise ... it is a Bennett pink.


    KIWI MAGIC: This is a great pony sized daylily. Well budded and branched.

    There aren't a lot of K's, but I like a lot of the ones posted here!


    Mantis - You give high praise to Kingdom Bound. It sounds like it would bloom a lot longer than mama, Entwined in the Vine.


    These are the ones that caught my eye: Karin Cook, Kierabel, Karen's Curls, King Crab, Katherine Caldwell and Kiwi Magic.
