Anyone want some really nice daylilies? I got these from a breeder about 9 years ago. They were ones he had decided not to market. The only names they have are the ones I gave them for my reference, so I could remember the colors. They are really beautiful: they just needed dividing, and I did that today. I have pictures, if I can add them here. I don’t have many, so first dibs!

Shown in order:

Raspberry Ribbons: an early season bloomer. Usually my first to bloom. A bit shorter than many daylilies, so it needs a space where you can see it well.

Orchids and Antique Lace: a midseason tetraploid. Wide petals, heavily ruffled, diamond dusted.

Lemon with Melon: An unusual yellow with a light overlay of cantelope. A midseason tetraploid. Very wide petals, slight ruffling, a heavy bloomer.

I will dig up Chicago Royal if there’s an interest. Rich burgundy/ purple. Tetraploid. An older variety that has narrower petals than the modern daylilies. Huge flowers, up to 7” across. More of this available.
