Hello

Gardening requires lots of water - most of it in the form of perspiration. ~Lou Erickson

Would you agree? It does take work to have the "perfect", well groomed garden. If you have a great perennial called "daylily", your worries will be mostly put to ease. Oh yes, daylilies are a very low maintenance plant to have. Daylilies tolerate most any soil type. They are disease/pest resistance. Grow fairly quickly. With such vigorous growth, daylilies choke out most other weeds and unwanted plants. Every 3-5 years, daylilies should be divided and shared with friends and family. Daylilies have a beautiful bloom, come in a multitude of colors, are of varying heights, and are tolerant of little water. Daylilies do bloom best when provided with 6-8 hours of sunshine per day. So ... do you have a place in your yard/garden that is the perfect spot for such a forgiving plant? Come and visit us ... www.oakvillefarm.com. The daylily world awaits you. :)

Please remember that we are offering the Stella de Oro daylily for $5.00 per clump. Yes, that is more than 40 individual fans in one large clump for a mere $5.00. Give us a call at
252-257-4454 for this special offering.

We want to showcase the daylily Starstruck. It grows about 2 feet tall, has a large bloom,
over 5" wide. It is a tetraploid. It is said that tetraploids have thicker petals and stronger scape, and this daylily does. It is a later blooming daylily, here it blooms the second week of July. The color is yellow with green throat. And while it blooms later, Starstruck almost glows in the bright summer sun. It is certainly an eye catcher. We sell this pretty speciman for $8.00 for double fan.

Hope you have a great day. Until next time, Happy Gardening.
