Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart. ~ Victor Hugo

Brrrrrr ... cold here at Oakville Farm. 18 degrees. A heavy frost out there, I do see!!! And quite cold for this time of year, average is a tolerable 31 degrees. You can check out our weather at any time by visiting our personal weather station on the web, OFW.

Hope everyone had a good weekend. And today maybe an extended "weekend" for some. Have a safe and relaxing MLK Day to those who have a holiday.

Today, would like to return to the showcasing of daylilies that we have to offer. Today will share a few Purple daylilies, including several variants of purple.

Quin Buck

This lavender daylily has a green throat. It is dormant, ie, foliage dying back in the winter. It blooms in mid season. Stands about two feet tall and presents a bloom width about seven inches. A nice lower growing specimen that would look good in the foreground of a flowerbed.

Sebastian

A vivid purple daylily with a lime throat. Standing about twenty inches tall and "spreading its wings" about five inches. Foliage is evergreen. It is a rebloomer which begins blooming in early mid season. It is very showy and has been a good seller.

Siloam Tee Tiny

This daylily presents orchid with a purple eyezone and green throat. It stands about twenty inches tall and has a small bloom, less than three inches in width. Foliage is dormant. And you can find it blooming in the mid season.

Moonlight Orchid

The blue lavender and white, brushed lavender bicolor daylily is a real "beaut". It is a rebloomer which begins blooming in early mid season. It stands about thirty inches tall and bloom width is over six inches. A very pretty daylily.


Hope you enjoyed just a peek of our purple daylilies. Be thinking of how they could be incorporated into your flowerbed. Daylilies are an easy perennial to have.

Have a good day and until next time, Happy Gardening.
