Home | Plants | Daylilies Shine in Mid-Summer

Daylilies Shine in Mid-Summer

Daylilies are old favorites for good reasons. They are:
Low maintenance
Cold hardy (to USDA Zone 3)
Moderately drought-tolerant
Very attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds
Adaptable to a variety of soil conditions
Disease-free and pest-free
Graceful, eye-catching, and long-blooming
Available in a very wide range of colors and sizes
Rabbit-resistant
Fast-growing
Good for erosion control
Edible and tasty

And we still have some wonderful varieties in stock! And they are in bloom!  

Daylilies should be planted in a location with full sun to light afternoon shade, and compost-enriched, well-drained garden soil. The crown of the plant should be 1″ below soil level. Trim back spent flower stems as they finish, and trim yellowing foliage as needed.

BONANZA: This heirloom selection is indefatigable, producing an abundance of fragrant, soft golden-yellow trumpet flowers with a contrasting deep purple eye on 15″ upright stems above dense clumps of grassy foliage from midsummer through fall. Perfect for massing, edging and containers.

CATHERINE WOODBURY: Elegant, trumpet-shaped 6″ soft lavender-pink blooms reveal a green throat and emit a light perfume. Sturdy, erect bloom stalks 24 to 30″ tall rise above low-growing mounds of refined, grassy foliage in mid-season. Repeat bloom is possible. Beautiful in butterfly gardens, large containers or borders, and mixed ornamental plantings.

STELLA D’ORO: This award-winning, reblooming, dwarf selection is so reliable, easy, compact, and bright, it has become an international favorite. Heavy clusters of fragrant 2 ½” blooms are borne all summer and into fall if dead-headed and given occasional organic fertilizer. The golden-yellow blossoms stand at 10-12″ tall above arching grass-like leaves, making them perfect along a path or in groups.

FRANS HALS: This very popular variety has narrower petals than most, giving the blooms a starry shape and a more informal character. The bright yellow- and rust-colored pinwheels of color make a brilliant display in mid-summer, with over 50 blooms once established. Plant in sweeps for a dramatic display of color lasting more than a month. Grows 24-30″ tall by 18-24″ wide.

MIGHTY CHESTNUT: Each large 5″ fragrant, burnt-orange flower sports a maroon band encircling a green-gold eye. The broad, lightly ruffled petals open wide to better display the colorful details. Blooming in mid-late season, the well-branched plants have a high blossom count, and each flower remains open for an extended period of up to 16 hours

RAJAH: Rajah daylilies display striking 5.5” star-shaped, informal blooms with reddish orange petals, deep red eyes, and yellow throats on scapes to 40″ tall. They bloom in mid-season, with some rebloom possible, and are highly attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds.

WINE DELIGHT: This 3 1/2″ wine red bloom has broad overlapping petals and a contrasting chartreuse throat. Wine Delight produces plentiful blooms on 18″ stems amidst neat foliage in mid-season.
