Favorite white daylilies

last year
last modified: last year

I have a few white daylilies, added a few the past two seasons. Show us your favorites.

How High the Moon is my new favorite. It is pure white and tall. Looks promising here.


Scandinavia is fairly new here. I added this after seeing it in Mantis garden. Most of my whiteshave been here three seasons or less.


I like the shape of Heavenly Curls but has been slow to establish. Probably needs a better spot which I dont have now.


Love Kennesaw Mountain Lemon Sorbet.

it had first blooms last season.


Sunday Gloves is my favorite old white. It has incredible substance in all day sun.

    Sherry - I've always liked your photos of How High the Moon. Kennesaw Mountain Sorbet is very pretty!

    Here are my favorite near whites:

    Arctic Lace


    Believe in Angels looked more cream in photos from last year. Some years it looks very white.


    Fancy Lace


    White Ambrosia


    August Frost X Winter's Angel


    Heavenly Snow White

    Sherry, I too really like your Sunday Gloves. Very White.

    Debra, White Ambrosia is my favorite of yours.

    A seedling I got in a trade many years ago, very white and very late.

    Joan Senior, a great oldie.

    Seedling Vintage Wine x unknown

    Ice Carnival, another late.

    Siloam Amazing Grace x Indian Giver is actually a little whiter than this photo. A very perfect flower every time.

    Kent's Favorite Two x unknown

    Debra, I like White Ambrosia and your August Frost seedling. Did you bring the seedling to your new home?

    Brad my favorite is your Vintage Wine seedling, nice form.

    Sherry - Yes, I brought that near white seedling with me. It's a dormant that should do well here, and I hope to register it in the future. I left five other near-white seedlings behind. Also, I had every intention of bringing Arctic Lace here, but I ran out of time and space to bring it. Maybe I will be able to replace it. All the others I show I do still have.

    Nice group of whites. My picks are Scandanavia, Heavenly Snow White, and White Ambrosia.


    We don't grow many whites, but here a few I found photos of.


    Chill is a small white diploid.


    Heavenly Snow Flake



    Lillian's Thin Ice is one of my favorite white ones.



    Arctic Bear


    Last Snowflake is registered late, but it does not bloom late for us. It is also short and low budded, but the flowers are gorgeous so we keep it.



    See Me-Feel Me-Touch Me



    That's all for me

    Nancy, Last Snowflake is my favorite. As a rule do the older Gossards do well for you? I am not sure if i should try the later Gossards.

    Nancy, Lillian's Thin Ice is indeed a very nice white. I also like Chill; such a nice form.

    Sherry, the older Gossards do well for us but many of the newer Gossards do not. I believe many of the newer ones have too much Spacecoast genetics in them.

    David, Great White is nice. And you saying it doesn't multiply explains the seedling Debra gave me. It is Blessed Art Thou x Great White. Nice, but doesn't multiply.
