MASTER GARDENER TO THE RESCUE



No longer known as the "ditch lily" today's daylily hybrids are fast becoming one of the most beautiful garden plants. Second only to the Rose among plant collectors it come is in shades of cream up to the deepest plums and purples. I have some dark red blooming in my yard at the moment and they are beautiful. I have some in lilac purple, apricot and lavender. The lavender bloom are diamond dusted %26amp; are 5 inches wide.



All of mine are of the reblooming type and i have some in bloom year around. Last Christmas Day both my Roses and daylilies were in full bloom %26amp; it was a sight to see.



There are some nursearies in southern california that grow only hybrid daylilies and ship them around the world. If you haven't checked out the new daylilies yet you are really in for a surprise.
Reply:Although I still love the old time orange daylilies common to abandoned homesteads and roadsides, I have grown to enjoy all the colors now available to gardeners. Yes, daylilies DO come in the colors you have described.



I believe a bicolor daylily is when three of its tepals are bicolored and three are of one solid color.
