A gardener loves the rain; also, for the resting time it brings. ~Author Unknown

And winter rains are so welcome. The daylilies absorb all the delightful rains. Snow can also be a pleasant water source for the daylilies. Did you hear? A place in Alaska has received 18 feet of snow. Eighteen feet of snow and could receive 1-2 more feet of snow in the next few days! Now, that is alot of snow. However .... no resting time for those gardeners!

Today, would like to showcase a few white daylily cultivars.

Joan Senior


This near white daylily has a green throat. It is an early mid season rebloomer. Stands about two feet tall and has a bloom width of about six inches.


Ice Carnival


Also a nice near white reblooming dayily. It is a mid season bloomer that is fragrant. Our customers have stated that this daylily is very fragrant. The weather conditions and time of day influence the light fragrance. We find that more and stronger sun and an adequate amount of rain enhances the smell.



Mosel

Mosel presents a small bloom, about three inches in width. It is near white with green throat. A rebloomer that begins blooming early in the season. It stands a mere eighteen inches tall. Nice daylily to be used as a foreground plant.

White in a garden is so pretty. It enhances other colors, is bold, striking, yet brings a certain bit of calmness. So think about white when it comes to your outdoor area.

Hope you have a good day and until next time, Happy Gardening.
