| With so very, very many choices (tens of
thousands of named cultivars!) it's hard to pick favorites, but here goes...
'Always Afternoon':
Striking dark eye is bold contrast between
lavender-purple petals & lemon-lime throat. Super heavy bloomer. Its
outstanding garden performance earned it the Daylily Society's
Highest Award in 1997.
'Autumn Minaret': Although the
flowers aren't exciting this plant blooms so late in the season (September even
into October) and such tall and stately stems that it is a standout in the
daylily collection.
'Chloe':
Narrow petaled pastel lavender-pink & pale yellow bicolor. Has an
old-fashioned charm.
'Countess Carrots': An abundance
of truly tiny bright orange flowers. Cute!
'Daring
Dilemma': Lovely
dark eye is echoed in the ruffled maroon edge
'Dark Star': Distinctive color &
form
'Erin Farmer':
Since our Farm is in the Town of Erin how could we not
include this one on our list of favorites?
'Fabulous Face':
Huge flowers are the most soothing shades of buttercream
& rose.
'Fairy Tale Pink': This one
always gets noticed. It has an elegant presence that earned it the American
Hemerocallis Society's highest award in 1990.
'Fooled Me': Super floriferous
and great bold colors. Highest Award Winner in 2005.
'Kindly Light': A
classic early "Spider" that helped popularize this unusual form
'Lights of Detroit': Unique
"flat" flower form
'Mary's Gold': Brilliant gold
blossoms are almost luminescent
'Mauna Loa': A Hawaiian
sunset captured in a flower!
'Open Hearth': Enormous 9"
flowers get this one noticed in our fields.
'Red Volunteer': Our very
favorite red. Super-floriferous rich color-fast velvet red.
'Sir Blackstem':
Dark chocolate
colored stems add another element of interest. Reliably re-blooms here.
'Spindazzle': Like a pinwheel in
the wind
'Tani':
Exquisite heavy substance rose-pink flowers with perfectly round
form.
'Vanessa
Barth': Beautiful watercolor-like "watermark" of colors
blend from throat to petals
