What daylilies do you have in your garden that you don't think get the credit they deserve? There are no rules regarding what measures you must judge by, it is open-ended, but please share WHY you love it so. (and PICTURES if you can!...)


I will kick-start this with a single example for now:

Tuscawilla Tigress

Thumb of 2017-08-09/DogsNDaylilies/1cc4fe

Anytime I see Tuscawilla Tigress available on a plant list, it is always super cheap, which belies the quality of this particular daylily. It establishes itself wonderfully, has super strong scapes, and the blooms are bright and command attention. It blooms for a LONG time... about 5-6 weeks, I believe. Although not registered as such, it is a bud-builder in my garden, too! What isn't to love?

I never see anyone hybridize with this or really do anything with this wonderful plant, but I don't think I would ever give it away. It is definitely an under-rated plant, in my opinion.
