What can I say...

Here it is Monday, so what happened to Sunday? We worked outside all day. Had a few customers visit, peruse the daylily field and ask lots of questions, ie: (1) When is the best time to purchase and plant? (2) What rebloomers do you sell? (3) What grows best in Zone 7b? All excellent questions.
(1) We recommend that you purchase daylilies beginning now through the end of September. If purchased now, when planted in their yard, the daylilies should bloom this year. We have many customers who prefer to see the daylily blooming, purchase and take home to plant. Both are acceptable. You should become familiar with your Zone and growing season to facilitate good daylily development.
(2) A few of the rebloomers are: Charles Johnston, Martha Fawcett, Cabbage Flower, Trahlyta and of course, Stella de Oro. Be sure to check out other daylilies on our website.
(3) Zone 7b has an average annual minimum temperature range of between 5-10 degrees F, as noted on the USDA plant hardiness zone map. All of our plants will grow in that range. Be sure that the daylilies receive 6-8 of sunlight per day.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by and email us or blog us with more questions.

Today has also been busy. We were under severe weather this afternoon. We had rain for about an hour and then for about 2 minutes late this evening, we had pea sized and marble sized hail. Didn't have time to get my camera, I was just watching in amazement. Then after it all passed, we had clear blue skies and could see the thunder clouds forming in the north east. Oh the weather that we see!Am sure that the daylilies are glad to have received the rain. Will check on them tomorrow and give ya a report.

Remember, we are having a sale on Stella de Oro's. So get your order ready.

Good night.
