Hemerocallis (Daylily)
at Digging Dog
Including Hemerocallis middendorffii and varieties Corky and Speak of Angels
Hemerocallis
Daylily
Named for the fleeting nature of their 6-petaled trumpetlike blossoms, Daylilies are hardy and easy to grow. Their strap-shaped leaves arch gracefully to form clumps of brilliant green. The buds and flowers are considered a delicacy by the Chinese, who enjoy them fresh or wilted in salads. Our selections are deciduous.
This dwarf Daylily has a refined and dainty, yet in some ways, exotic look. Persistent, richly colored brown buds and mahogany-striped, deep yellow flowers grace numerous branched stems arising from bright green, narrow foot high leaves. With its unusual blend of yellow and mahogany, ‘Corky’ can be celebrated en masse in a bed or individually in the rock garden.
Blooms mid-June – late July. Size: 20" high x 12" wide; hardy to zone 4. Hemerocallis ‘Corky’ (P-0407)
Each $6.75

Chinense Daylily
Chocolate-brown tipped buds open early into marigold orange-colored flowers above a low growing clump whose narrow, grassy green blades look ornamental even on their own.
Delivering a delightfully bright and fragrant performance in the garden or a bouquet, the broad, six-petaled blooms are held in dense clusters by blunt, cupped bracts. This northeast Asian native acquiesces to dry conditions once established and enlivens the rock garden or a pathway’s edge. Zone 3/4.
Blooms May–June. Size: 2' high x 18" wide; hardy to zone 4.
Hemerocallis middendorffii (P-1318)
Each $6.75

Blooms June – July. Size: 2' high x 2' wide; hardy to zone 4. Hemerocallis ‘Speak of Angels’ (P-0538)
Each $6.75
