I wish I had more room and when we bought our last house my husband wanted an acre or more and I said it was too much land - I did not have the daylily obsession then and I really regret that decision. Oh well, I still have 8 daylily beds and I am making at least one more this spring and I have tossed several other plants that never did well to begin with in favor of more daylilies. I do have other flowers mixed in with the daylilies, but I have over 350 daylilies with over 100 more coming this year, so I have been making my list of keepers and tossers. I have a few that have never bloomed in 2-3 years - those are going. I have some that are similar to others - one is going except for my white frilly ones that are great bloomers as white is my favorite. I have Kennesaw Mountain Lemon Sorbet and that is a beauty, but after 2 years, I only get about 7 blooms - I will see after this year as it has a prime garden spot. The only other one like that that I have to keep is Webster's Pink Wonder - it only gets about 10 blooms, but they are spectacular so I will not part with that one. I have been buying every tall pink spider I can buy to see if I can find a replacement for it that has a lot of blooms, but none have 13" flowers. I have Scatterbrain and I like it and am keeping it, but I can see why someone would chose to let it go. I have to stop buying flowers from the south also because the daylilies that die on me are SE or Evergreens mainly from the south.
Have a Happy Daylily Day!!
