Hemerocallis ''6.29.2017 (super tall - 70 inches)''

Daylily

Plant Type:

DAYLILY (HEMEROCALLIS)

Hemerocallis 6.29.2017 (super tall) - A later flowering unnamed very tall daylily - 70 inches. Up to 28 buds per stem arranged in a candelabra times masses of scapes equals an incredible explosion of light yellow trumpets comprised of narrow, delicate looking petals. As many of the tall cultivars produce a surprising number of flowers this daylily outpaces most if not all. And its bloom period commences later than its also unnamed counterpart, 5.29.2017, extending the possibilities. And the bloom timing is significant bridging to the late summer flowering perennials. These tall daylilies offer interesting back-of-the-border possibilities for both height and contrast to other garden denizens while their foliage can be hidden from view... sorry, daylilies, we love you but with rare exception your leaves are lacking in appeal.

Genus Overview: Hemerocallis

Common Name: Daylily

The well-known daylily. We have become increasingly taken with the late and very late bloomers. Those glorious daylily trumpets add such rich and contrasting texture to mops and strands of goldenrods, Joe-pye weeds and late season daisy flowers that occur in abundance at this time; they are splendid with the broad flattened domes of ironweeds, the spikes of Persicaria amplexicaulis ‘Firetail’ plus the seeds and berries that so opulently populate the landscape in the late season. We are offering a handful of mid-season bloomers. Of course, most of the breeding has centered about these and for this reason many of these cultivars are fancier. But we find there is elegance in the simpler flower form and gentler colors, often soft pastels, in the later selections. Most of the late bloomers but not all have originated with Olallie Daylily Gardens in South Newfane, VT. All cultivars are hardy in USDA zones 3 to 9 unless otherwise marked. All of the following are sent as bareroot divisions of our plants.
