I have had daylilies since I moved to the beach in 2000. Very few survived the past 15 years! I'd had most my favorites for maybe 5-6 years so they really are keepers.
Favorites include:
Barbara Mandrell (excellent branching, good adaptability to a tough location)
Debary Canary
Thin Man
Hot Gossip (blooming fool!)
Jedi Brenda Spann (her beautiful blooms belie her age)
Missouri Memories
Parrot Moon (took a couple of years to settle in--stunning)
Velvet Throne
Voila Francois
