"When at last I took the time to look into the heart of a flower, it opened up a whole new world; a world where every country walk would be an adventure, where every garden would become an enchanted one."
- Princess Grace of Monaco


What a day! Started off foggy and cool ... turned out to be a bright sunny, breezy afternoon ---
80+ degrees. :)

How are those flower gardens progressing? Hope you are seeing much lush greenery. And if the unwanted lush weed greenery is showing its dreaded head ... use what I like ... glyphso. It works great under fencing, you know the difficult area to mow! Just spray it and in a few days: wilt, wilt, death! Don't hit daylilies with it though, they don't like it ... it burns! I have been known to get the glyphso spray a bit close :(

Rebloomers. While most daylilies bloom once during their growth bloom season, usually 4-6 weeks, there are other daylily cultivars that have several bloom times during their blooming season. And that is called Rebloomer. With proper conditions, ie adequate water & 6-8 hours of sun daily, rebloomers, will produce more than one flowering per season. Some of the rebloomers that we have for sale are: Stella de Oro, Big Kiss, Cabbage Flower, Charles Johnston, Martha Fawcett, Pirate's Promise, Sebastian, Trahlyta. When reading the description for the specific cultivar, if it is noted with "RE", then it is a reblooming daylily. Please enjoying perusing our website: www.oakvillefarm.com. Daylilies make such a great addition to a yard/flowerbed. :)

Until next time, Happy Gardening.
