Absolutely not, Mike- Daylilies are perfectly at home in the cottage garden setting! While I don't put them at the top of my list of favorites, and never really considered myself a Daylily enthusiast, I started looking around the garden and realized I've got about 100 varieties out there! In the ever growing Daylily world, that's not really that many, but I definitely consider them a mainstay in the garden. Not only are they unbeatable easy to grow summer color, I also find their fountains of foliage lovely among the other textures and shapes in the cottage garden.
How gorgeous those Canterbury bells are with the Daylilies!
