Beautiful, diverse, prolific, and resilient, these sun-loving plants are simply amazing! Non-invasive (unlike inferior predecessors that pre-date hybrid types), the clump grows larger every year but never becomes aggressive. They come in a dazzling array of colors, shapes, and sizes.
But there’s more! Hybrid daylilies are the garden's ultimate survivors, shrugging off droughts, pests, and diseases. They're like the Chuck Norris of plants, super tough and ready to kick any gardening challenge to the curb. :) All of the varieties listed below are registered cultivars with the American Daylily Society. (Bloom time - summer)
Mary’s Gold - I know what you’re thinking…..another yellow daylily? Blah. But you couldn’t be more wrong. Mary’s Gold was the first daylily I ever acquired (many years ago). It is the OG of my daylily obsession, and for a reason. With a 6.5 inch brilliant golden bloom and a green throat, it is simply stunning in the garden. Number available: 2
Dominic - This cultivar is a magnificent, deep burgundy color with a gold throat. Its 5.5 inch flowers have rich and velvety petals, and it's one of the first to bloom each year in my garden.
