Walking home every day from the bus stop as a child I have fond memories of walking past an old white farm house with black shutters. There was a long white picket fence along the roadside with what seemed like HUNDREDS of beautiful orange blooming tubular shaped flowers. I just wanted to pick them all and bring them home. Years later I realized those flowers where Daylilies.<\/p>\n
Now that I have a house of my own and love to garden, I love daylilies more than ever. I\u2019ve learned that they are very easy to grow and they don\u2019t need much attention during the growing season at all. Just a sunny spot in the garden and some <\/a>decent soil and they\u2019re well on their way. Each flower on a daylily will last for only one day, but a matured plant has so many blooms that you\u2019ll be enjoying color for days and weeks to come.<\/p>\n What I really love about daylilies is the vast choice of colorful and dazzling varieties available to choose from. I\u2019ve enjoyed several varieties in my garden over the past couple of years and they just keep getting bigger and more colorful as they mature. Of course, now I\u2019m hooked and am sure I will be adding at least one new variety to my garden every year.<\/p>\n These are a couple of varieties that are presently on my want list:<\/p>\n \u201cMighty Chestnut\u201d – 30\u201d tall, blooms in mid-summer. Incredibly unique flower color sets this daylily apart. Large, fragrant russet red-orange blossoms have a deep burgundy eye and gold throat.<\/p>\n
