Oakville Farm Daylily Blog

Flowers... are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world.  ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Perennials are such a good plant/flower for one's yard.  And of course, I recommend the Daylily as the perfect perennial.   Daylilies are pretty much drought tolerant, easy to grow, insect/pest resistant, low maintenance.  Great "bang for your buck" as someone said this week.


More daylilies that are blooming here at Oakville Farm ...


Cabbage Flower


Daylily Cabbage Flower is a pastel lemon yellow self with a green throat.  The bloom is a double, which reblooms and is over four and a half inches wide.  It stands about a foot and half tall.  The bloom rests on the upper edge of the foliage, giving a good contrast between the yellow bloom and green foliage.  It is also fragrant and is an extra early bloomer, being one of the first daylilies to bloom here.


Novelty Number

 

Daylily Novelty Number is a new daylily for us.  I really like this daylily, it draws my eyes in.  Novelty Number is a buff yellow with a red eyezone and green yellow throat.  It is a midseason bloomer.  Diameter of near five inches and standing over two feet tall.  The bloom is atop a thin scape and it rises well above the foliage.  A nice sturdy daylily. 

Sebastian

 

Daylily Sebastian is very showy daylily, presenting a vivid purple self with lime green throat.  It is a rebloomer.  Bloom size is over five inches and it stands almost two feet tall.  The large bloom lays slightly above the green foliage.  Foliage is wide, making the contrast nice between the foliage and bloom.
