Cool...

And I don't mean "something being awesome", I mean cool weather. In the high 30's today. And damp. Had to wear heavy coat when outside today.

As I was perusing the daylilies today, did not notice scapes emerging, however the leaf growth has really been strong thus far. Our dormant daylilies are above ground. Hemerocallis Stoplight, which is one of our very last blooming cultivars is up about 5". That is alot of growth for this time of year. To each of you out there, what daylilies are showing themselves in your yard? Now is certainly the time to be making plans for these great perennials in your yard. Do you need a tall daylily, say one that will reach up 48" or higher for a background? Or a shorter one to be used as a border around other plants? Daylilies make a great perennial for any yard.

Hemerocallis Happy Returns is called an EE bloomer. An Extra Early bloomer, blooming here during the month of May. A short, 18" tall, yellow blooming daylily. A very prolific grower, which provides much beauty early in the season. Could this look good in your yard? It has been reduced and is selling for $4.00 per fan. A great deal :)

Be sure to check and other daylily cultivars out at our website www.oakvillefarm.com to assist you in finding the right daylily addition to your yard. We begin shipping daylilies April 1, 2011. So make your orders, send them in and we will ship daylilies out to you.

Enjoy perusing our website. Until next time, Happy Gardening.
