Today, oh yes, today, we are supposed to have rain. And we need rain. The plants, the trees, the shrubs, the grass ... all need rain. A winter rain can be welcome. And today, it is forecast. Plus, a cold front is blowing in, with steady winds and possible 30+ wind gusts. Guess we better hold on to our hats!!!!
Want to showcase a few RED daylilies from Oakville Farm. And as with other cultivar "colors", red includes, burgundy, cerise, crimson, deep red, bright red. Red in the garden is such, such a beautiful sight. It seems to compliment other colors so well.
Miracle Maid
This daylily presents bright red with a green throat. It stands about three feet tall with a six inch bloom. Blooming in mid season, it is a real stand out under the hot summer sun.
Royal Heiress
This daylily presents evergreen foliage with burgundybloom with creamy eyezone and green throat. Standing about two feet tall and displaying a six inch bloom, it is a nice treat to see blooming in early mid season. It is a rebloomer, showing many times over its beauty.
Bama Bound
This daylily presents about two feet tall with a five inch bright red bloom. It is a mid season bloomer.
Daylilies perform well in six - eight hours of sunlight per day. With the darker red, near black colors, daylilies can be planted under a light canopy, still receiving direct sun, just fewer hours. The diffused light prevents the darker blooms from fading. Here at Oakville Farm, being in Zone 7 climate zone, we have the daylilies planted in direct sun and they do well.
Well, hope you enjoy your day and until next time, Happy Gardening.
