"Fox ears" daylily

beautiful....

Very striking Gnarly Gnome

The offsets are called proliferations and are genetically the same as the parent. It is a great way to increase your favourites if they are too new to divide.

Hi Wylie

I always forget what its called , had none off any of mine this year ??

Gg

It is lovely and seem like huge blooms.

Yes huge ! nearly 8 inches I love the white mid rib on this

it has a special spot in the front garden

What gorgeous colours Gg....I'm not much good with Daylilies, they end up not flowering after the first year, I had some really lovely gold ones then second and subsequent years, all leaf no flowers, yet only small plants. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I remember you buying this one Gg lovely........
I've had 3 proliferations!!!! from 'Pink Enchilada' that you sent me quite well rooted and potted up now hope they keep growing also one each on 'Apple Swirl' and 'Emmaus' which I thought were worth growing on :-)

Simbad *Fox Ears* was a freebie with others I bought "fluttering beauty" being one of them , talk about giving it VIP treatment but it worked it was only about 3 inches high but I kept it ticking over and mainly dry in its pot in the greenhouse all through the winter and then a huge pot for the following year.

3 is amazing will it weaken the plant for next year like it maybe does with collecting seeds ?

Mooseman is already growing and has greened up already, well pleased and your two have settled in I do love a swap.

Hope you have put the agapanthus in the greenhouse ??

........................

Janey easy to grow full sun most of the day if you can and no other plants crowding them out and that includes daffs in the spring.

No the proliferations don't weaken the plant Gg, not in my experience anyway, because they grow on the old flower stalk I usually cut them off while they're still young before the stalk dies or they will die to, I leave a bit of stalk attached to hold them out the water and pop them in a jam jar with the tiny roots just touching the water they grow by the day and are soon big enough to pot up.
Oh yes the agapanthus is tucked up in the greenhouse, moved all my tenders in there last weekend :-)
