We have been busy here. Our weather was just perfect during the first part of the spring: rains when we needed it and bright sunny days. Then Mother Nature sent a High pressure system to sit over us. Bringing us many many weeks of hot, record heat as a matter of fact, to our area. That in turn had us work harder providing water to the plants.
Using soaker hoses to water our daylilies, they are looking really good. Several extra early bloomers, ie: Stella de Oro and Butterscotch Ruffles blooms are currently showing some good color. The Stella de Oro is a short growing (12-14" tall) plant with a small golden color bloom. It is a rebloomer, which means that it will continue blooming from now until frost. It is a very popular perennial which can be seen all throughout landscapes. Stella de Oro daylilies multiply very quickly. They are used on embankments to prevent erosion, used as border or used as a specimen plant. Stella de Oro, like all daylilies are drought tolerant and disease resistant. Daylilies prefer 6-8 hours of sunlight per day. And need to be divided every 3-5 years. Their prolific growth makes them a good plant to share with family and friends.

Butterscotch Ruffles, this great perennial daylily grows to about 24" tall and has a small peach blend bloom. "Blend" refers to the bloom having two or more colors mixed together. It is a rebloomer.

All for now. Hope everyone has a good day and Until next time, Happy Gardening.
