The daylilies along the roadsides and in gardens have taken off like crazy this week. I welcomed this large lily as one of the first to bloom in the gardens at Cedar Bluff where we have over 25 varieties planted that bloom from mid-summer to Labor Day.
Daylilies are splendid summer flowers. As perennials, they come up year after year. They bloom for several weeks. They can be tall or not so tall. The plants at Cedar Bluff produce hundred of blossoms. Hummingbirds and bees love them.
From the wild lilies that grow in roadside clumps to the clusters in my gardens, I'm a daylily fan.
