Oakville Farm Daylily Blog

In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.
~Albert Camus

And how can we prepare for that approaching summer? As someone said on Saturday, we must first enjoy each moment. Think of where you are, what you are doing, who you like to spend time with....savor the moment.

Then, look out the window and visualize your garden/yard in the months to come. Think of where a new daylily flower bed would flourish. I received an email last week, asking to provide more culitvars, specific by color. So I will oblige.

Today's daylily cultivars will showcase a few yellow daylilies that we have to offer.

Double Reward
This daylily is a pale yellow self. It is a double midseason bloomer. It stands about three feet tall. The scape and blooms rise well above the foliage. The foliage is deemed to be semi-evergreen, meaning the foliage is neither dormant or evergreen. Originally, semi-evergreen was used to describe foliage that never completely died and kept some green in the winter.

Cabbage Flower
This daylily presents pastel lemon yellow. It is also a rebloomer, one that begins blooming extra early in the season and will bloom several times. It is fragrant. It stands about seventeen inches tall and the bloom width is about five inches across.



El Desperado
This daylily is a mustard yellow with a wine purple eyezone. It has slightly ruffled edges marked with the purple. El Desperado is Late blooming daylily. It's foliage is dormant, dying back in the winter. It stands about two and half feet tall and the bloom width is near five inches.


Happy Returns
A beautiful light yellow self daylily. It blooms extra early in the season and foliage is dormant. It stands about eighteen inches tall and the bloom width is about three inches. A small, yet showy bloom. It is slightly fragrant.



Mary Todd
A yellow gold daylily. It is termed "buff", which is yellowish beige. We have found that it is a striking yellowish gold color. It is an early blooming daylily which stands about two and half feet tall and has a bloom width of over six inches. It is just bright pretty daylily bloom.

Well, hope you enjoyed just a small sampling of our yellow daylily cultivars. Will showcase another color tomorrow. Hope to see you then and until next time, Happy Gardening.
