Daylilies, oh my ...

Hello daylily enthusiasts. What do you still have blooming in your yard? Several of our reblooming daylilies have bloomed their first round, rested and are now sending up scapes with more blooms to come. Surprise, surprise!

Hope you had a good week. Here at Oakville Farm, we have been watering the daylilies. Several blog writings ago, I said that I had to purchase more soaker hoses. I did and have been using them. The daylilies are certainly showing their appreciation, by sending up new scapes/more blooms. This is the first time ever using soaker hoses and I really like them. I would suggest them for any type of gardening or yard project. Found this about soaker hoses:

Hemerocallis Royal Occasion

This dark violet daylily with a darker eyezone and green throat stands about 2 1/2 feet tall. The 4" bloom is quite showy. It does not have the "faded" effect as do some very dark daylilies. Some very dark daylilies need to be in an area that has diffused light and/or about 6 hours of sunlight. At Oakville Farm this daylily sells for $7.00 per fan.


Hemerocallis Streaker

This creamy pink daylily with red eyezone and green throat is "kinda cute" in the yard. With the three distinct colorings, it is pleasant to the eye. It stands about 2 1/2 feet tall, has about a 5" bloom and is a rebloomer. That reblooming thing is really good, ya know! We sell it for $5.00 per fan.


Please visit the website http://www.oakvillefarm.com to find the daylily that will fit well in your yard. There are so many great ones to choose from. Get out in the daylilies, see what area needs to be spruced up then check us out to find the right daylily. Until next time, Happy Gardening.
