U and V daylilies 2025

We start the week with U and V daylilies. When we finish the alphabet there will be three seedling posts………Register Worthy seedlings, New seedlings and Misc. Seedlings.


I only have two daylilies in this category.

Undercurrent is one of the few daylilies that has rebloomed for me. I moved it last fall. as you csn seein this photo it is being crowded by an overzealous clematis. Buds had decreased…..too much shade. I hope it does well this summer despite the move.

Upgrade has been a good addition here, good increase. The spots are more prominent in cooler temps.

    Sherry - You may only have two in this category, but they are great ones! I've always loved your photos of Undercurrent and Upgrade over the years. Thanks for adding seedling posts to the alphabet. I can no longer say which ones of mine are registration worthy until they grow for a couple of years here.

    Unbound is supposed to be hardy to Zone 5. I had it planted in too shady -and grubby - a spot in Nashville. Here it's planted next to the house and has better sun exposure. I hope it will be taller and have a better plant habit here.



    Victorian Garden Emerald Breeze was taller and better budded the past two years.


    Untamed Heart, my intro, was supposed to come to Indy. But it was one of the ones on my list that I ran out of time and space to take. Kate, I think I sent you some of it. Maybe I can get a piece back from you or David on NGA in future years. It was well-budded and a fast increaser in Nashville.

    Pretty U's and V's! My favorites are Untamed Heart (what a clump!), Unbound, and Undercurrent.


    Una de Gato



    What sets Vader's Choice apart from other small yellows is its black scapes, which you can't see in this photo.



    Vampire Cloak is a rather petite grower in our garden.


    Vampire Fish is new to the garden.


    We finally got a decent photo of Victorian Garden Star Bright. We haven't had good luck with this plant. The first one we ordered turned out to be misidentified. Turns out it was Serena Darkhorse. We ordered another and it has not grown well for us. This is the first year I remember getting a flower.


    When Gil Stelter in Canada was closing down his garden, he sent Bob some plants. This is Viking Power, which is quite large.


    I love the huge eye on Vision Seeker.


    That's all for me.

    Sherry, Undercurrent is gorgeous! I hope it does do well again!

    Debra, Unbound and Untamed Heart are both beautiful. I especially like Untamed Heart, great color, form, etc.

    Nancy, 2 of yours really wow'd me!!! Viking Power and Vision Seeker!!! Great colors and forms. I don't currently have a want list, but if I make one these two will be on it, as will Debra's Untamed Heart. Maybe even Undercurrent!

    Veracity, one of my unregistered seedlings. Does well.

    Vintage Wine

    VT Autumn Fire

    VT Fondly Kin

    VT Rose Rosy, great to use in hybridizing

    VT September Star

    VT Bridal Lilac

    VT Sophie

    VT the Last Melon, also great to hybridize with


    I got this in a trade many years ago, Viette seedling. Very white and very late.

    Undercurrent is such a pretty cultivar. I hope it likes the move, Sherry.

    Unbound and Victorian Garden Emerald Breeze are lovely, Debra. I will certainly watch Untamed Heart for multiplication! Hopefully, it multiplies well.

    I second Brad’s favorites, Nancy. Viking Power and Vision Seeker are winners.

    Brad, you have acquired a lot of Vt plants! I have always liked the Viette seedling.

    Vatican City with a wonky bloom in the middle of the clump


    Unshakable Kingdom


    Vanishing Mist can be so pretty like this but often is blotchy


    This is how VM usually looks


    Victorian Days


    Uncle Sam’s Cut

    Kate, Unshakeable Kingdom is beautiful! Another one I could put on a list.

    Vanishing Mist is pretty too.

    Kate - Vanishing Mist is so pretty when it's clean! It's a shame it's mostly splotchy for you.

    Brad - Your VTs are always impressive in the late season.

    Nan - Viking Power is striking. I like the color and form.

    Sherry: I'm getting sort of used to seeing spots on daylilies. When I grew roses spots on the petals meant botrytis blight, so it's taken me awhile to switch gears. Upgrade is fetching when seen through a new perspective......Debra: Untamed Heart made an impressive clump for you. I hope you get to grow it again.......Brad: I have come to admire your VT daylilies. VT Autumn Fire, Sept. Star and Last Melon are my favorites of this batch.......Kate: What a shame about the blotching problem on Vanishing Mist. That washed lavender eye is gorgeous. That Emmerich daylily seems to be like the girl with the curl in the poem. When she's good she's very very good...........Maryl

    Here is a clump of VULCAN LOGIC from my trip to Cottage Gardens.

    David, gorgeous clump of Vulcan Logic! Vatican City is a great color and looks colorfast to me.

    I like Ultimate Illusion, an unusual bloom.

    How does Vanishing Mist compare with Born to Reign, which tended to splotch here?

    sherrygirl zone5 N il thanked mantis__oh
  • last year

    Mantis - How interesting that Born to Reign tended to be splotchy for you. It was occasionally splotchy for me, but not nearly as often Skin of My Teeth and All Things for All Men by Emmerich. I've never grown Vanishing Mist but have considered adding it. Now that I see what it does for Kate, I've ruled it out.


    Debra

    I have not thought of that comparison, Mantis. Those two are in two separate beds for me. Born to Reign can be splotchy but I have been very disappointed in Vanishing Mist.

    Up[grade is really pretty. I like the colors.
