Day lillies are go!

lovely photos & mad day lillies...mine aren`t out yet but hopefully soon !

Beautiful flowers Fluff.Ive never grown these,and would love some,but am I right in thinking they take up a lot of space?

Thanks Elsiemay ... they won't be long with all this sunshine!

Hi Bloomer & thank you ... yes they have taken up quite a bit of room. I think I should have separated some off & re-planted them ... maybe next year! They've smothered a sedum next to them so I'll have to do something drastic!
I have heavy clay soil & they love it!

Beautiful. I just love these plants.

Really pretty, I keep promising myself some day lilies, will have to go and buy some now I've seen these pics :o)

Oh Fluff, the two orange ones are absolutely gorgeous.........if you ever find out their names I'd love to know ~ they are definitely a favourite.

I know they grow very big. That's why I didn't bring any with me from the old house when I moved. They are nice, but big lol

Thanks Dotty ... they have all come out today ... well one on each stem anyway! Have added some pics from today ...

Hi Mandy ... thank you ... get them from a local source if you can ... they are usually much cheaper than the GCs & are proven to grow in your local soil.

Silverbelle I've found Bigbumblebees pms to me & she says the double one is called Kwanso. An odd name but there it is! I must say it's very hard to identify the orange ones ... they are all very similar.

Blimey, they are stunning. All my Asiatics have ben eaten by the dreaded Red Lily Beetle:o(

Maybe a couple of years and I'll try again.

These are really impressive though and great pics.

Great-looking day lilies!! :-))

Aw thanks OB ... no beetly things here thank goodness! Once you've got them are they hard to get rid of?

Hi David & thank you ... haven't got to water them tonight as it rained all day. Hooray!

Evening Hywel ... I'm glad I have them but like you say they can get too big! They're my kind of plant tho' as they don't need any special care ... just holding back! ;O)

Good news re the watering, Fluff!. I used to grow daylilies, but now, just don't have the space to keep them, so have to be content looking at others', like yours. :-)

Thanks Fluff, I'll keep a look out for some..... they're lovely.

I've been told to just get rid of the lillies and don't have any back for a couple of years! JOY!

Noooooo! They are so prolific ... to the point of bullying I know but I guess you just have to 'manage' them! They are the only flower that I have 'in bulk' so to speak & give a lovely bank of colour. I is keeping my babies!

Catching up on GoY tonight, I love the buttermilk yellow one, never get rid of them, Fluff ! : o )))))

I won't Shirley ... I love them! ;O)

I`m really chuffed ,one of mine is in flower,I also have it in clay so that sounds promising, also got mine from Bbb last year, still waiting to see what colour my other one is, yes I agree they are lovely....

My other one hasn't flowered so I'm going to move it for next year Linclass ... I think it got smothered a bit where it is.

So gorgeous.......!!!

Just found the exact same ones buried deep in the jungle that is my mother's garden Flori ... they must love this clay!!

Day lillies are a favourite of mine too but I've onlt got one orange variety. I love the pale yellow one. I must buy some more. One of the plant catalogs that comes free with newspapers was recently offering 18 different ones varying in colour from a deep red to light yelow through pink and orange for £12 which sounds like a bargain to me.

I agree Anchorman ... I must get some more too! They seem to like my soil & there are so many to choose from! :o))
