One of the perennials to have come thru the
drought with no great damage are daylilies.
That was to be expected, I guess.
But what I really love is this late blooming double orange variety. It’s a vigorous grower – I got mine from a
neighbour in Toronto
who was throwing out a bunch he had torn from his front yard. They start late and have many many flower
buds so put on a show usually through August, even this year, with the early
start. Most of my daylilies I start from
seed. I purchased six plants over the
past 10 or so years and try to cross breed them to come up with interesting
colours. I love the deep lemon
yellows. I also really love this pink
Catherine Woodbury – it’s been in my Toronto backyard for about 12 years but I
need to move it – possibly in September – because the Kousa Dogwood has grown
so much my previously sunny garden is now either partial or total shade.
