Favorite eyed daylilies

I dont have as many of this variety as I thought, here are my favorites. Please show your favorites.


When my Sweetheart Returns needs shade to keep from melting.

Ruby Storm is new to the garden, nice blooms so far.

Real Wind, my favorite oldie has scrumptious color.

Peach Pizazz benefitted from a move to more sun.

Lollipop Kisses, a reliable performer, no splotchy blooms.

El Desperado

Cat Dancer

Get r Done, a great performer.

    Lollipop Kisses is my favorte of these. When My Sweetheart is a pretty one. It’s too bad it melts in the sun. El Desperado was always a terrific performer for me, but I didn’t move it here.

    Nice ones! My favorites are Lollipop Kisses and Ruby Storm. Great pic of El Desperado trio. For some reason I though Real Wind was a mini but I looked it up and it's a big flower.

    Real Wind is a late bloomer, an added bonus. The blooms slways look good.

    Eyed daylilies of any color combination are my favorites. Here are five I like.


    Bucklebury Ferry is a great grower here and is turning out to be a good rebloomer too.


    We got Candy-coasted Confection as a bonus. I was thrilled.


    Samsational did well this year. It has such dramatic coloring.


    These last two are seedlings which will be registered.


    Pineapple Bites X Wandering Werribee will be a 2025 intro. It too is turning out to be a great rebloomer.




    We hope to register Small World Fire in the Hole X Stoke the Fire in 2026. We are just waiting for enough increase. We lined out 6 single fans and one double fan in the fall of 2023. We haven't checked, but hope that the singles have become doubles now.




    That's all for me.

    The Pineapple Bites seedling is lovely, hope it does well as an introduction. Samsational is just that….would like to see that one in person.

    I too like Samsational - such colors! Pineapple's future intro is my favorite from seedlings.

    From David's I like both toothy ones and New Covenant looks so pretty.


    I am downsizing, slowly, and just let go of several eyed ones this summer (and a couple last year) so all what's left are my favorite, but two or three, which are good performers but not as favorite as my favorites :)


    Here are some:


    Christopher Moody - this one is top favorite, love!



    Orange Cherry Jubilee - another Stamile. Thankfully it's not orange, and it is not that good here but I just love the colors, and until I come across a similar coloring hardy one, this is it. The previous one only lasted a couple seasons here, Cherry something I forgot. Although New Covenant in David's picture looks promising



    The Band Played On - third Stamile :) This one also blooms early like previous



    Guilded by Grace - struggles here but oh so pretty and ornate



    Wild Horses - very nice!

  • last year

    Ok I can't resist, a couple more

    Incendiary - also blooms early and actually grows well here unlike other Maryott's, I think I only have 3 left at this point



    Raspberries in Cream - so very beautiful but does not like it here. It actually grows fine, it just doesn't want to flower much. Don't care, I'll take 5 blooms per season, it is that pretty



    I now have less than 10 eyed seedlings left, and I of course like them all, but this one is clearly better than the others - height, bud count, opening, consistency etc. It got somewhat affected by the sickness this year so this is previous years clump shot


    and a duo from this season

    David - I’m glad to see White Tooth bloomed for you and yielded some seeds in its first year. I just got mine in the ground this morning.

    Wow, lots of nice eye'd ones. Sherry, Ruby Storm, Lillipop Kisses and Real Wind are my favorites of yours. If I had a list, they'd all be on it!! Nancy, Samsational is quite an attention getter!! David, New Covenant is indeed a striking color!!! Nat, Christopher Moody is a Great color!!! I think I need it!! The Band Played on is also very nice.

    Coral Majority x Elegant Candy

    Debra, I really love Blue Jay Tapestry and also like Rosie with a Ring.

    What kind of computer did you get?

    Debra, so happy to see you posting again.! How is the planting going? I hope you will be able to do the color posts next season, You do a better job than me 😉.

    Sherry - Planting is going so much slower than I thought it would. I have 85 planted at this point. Next week we will be getting some 30s at night, but hopefully not a freeze.


    Brad - I got another Dell Inspiron, but this one is a touch screen model.

    FACEPAINT: I have always liked this one.

    Debra,


    LONESOME JAGUAR is certainly a looker. I have added that one to my list to try and locate next year.


    David

    David - Lonesome Jaguar was a fast multiplier and a good rebloomer in TN. I think you would like it.
