I placed an order for a Dwarf Daylily Collection in February from a catalog that I like. And without getting into real specifics, my order did not arrive until until early June and of course all the daylilies were bare-root. So I just shoved them all in the ground, with no thought to where. I assumed that they would not bloom this summer. With next spring they would have some size on them and at that point I would transplant them all to better and more appropriate locations within my garden.
Well … to my utter surprise, I found buds on two of my “little guys” and have been waiting for a while now to see what color the flowers are. This one is the first to bloom … still waiting on the other one.
I absolutely LOVE this color Orange … and LOL!!! the blooms are bigger than the little plant!!!
Here is the other “little guy”... such a pretty pink and burgundy!! Took a while to bloom, but I think worth the wait!!
