| This time of the year, I suspect some people’s gardens are starting to lack color.
Below are a few of our daylilies that are just starting or have only been blooming for short time.
Adding these to your gardens ensure blooms into September |
|
|
|
|
| Lilting Lady: Starting bloom in late July, this daylily produces masses of blooms, that are an eye catching pink with a deep ruby eye zone.
This daylily increases incredibly quickly. |
|
|
|
|
| Olallie Ellen: Named for my mother, this daylily is just starting to bloom. melon-pink with smooth color |
|
|
|
|
|
| Olallie Nikki’s Song: This is one of my favorite near whites for late in the season. It produces masses of blooms and blooms into early September |
|
|
|
|
|
| Olallie Petite: Another of my gradfather’s creations. Pony sized blooms of mixed shades of orange. Blooming through August. |

| Another nice vignette. A tall spidery yellow contrasts nicely with Artemisia absinthum |

|
| Are there even later daylilies? Why yes there are. This is my very late bed, as you can see there is only one bloom showing, but loads of scapes.
I’ll post a picture of them in bloom at the end of August. |

| I do love Zinnias! They are so easy to grow and as long as you keep cutting them, they produce buckets of blooms. And if kept in clean water, they bloom for up to 2 weeks!
Here’s a wheelbarrow full of just cut Zinnias. |

| Dante and Jack patrol the daylily beds. I’m not sure if they have a hunting system worked out, but I wouldn’t be surprised |
