In the past I’ve always planted flowers together in beds and vegetables in their own plot. As I was reading about companion plantings this spring, I learned that it works best when growing a diversity of plants: a medley of flowers and herbs among some vegetables, and a vegetable or two tucked away in a flower bed.

When it comes to planting daylilies, I’ve always been of the opinion that “the more, the merrier”. While this is certainly true, I have recently begun to be a bit more discerning in the types of daylilies that I plant. Oh, I still fill my beds to the bursting point with these lovely perennials. But I have found, through lots of trial and error, that certain varieties are better suited for borders while other varieties work better in beds or along the grass lines of my yard. […] It’s a well-known fact that daylilies are one of the easiest, most dependable perennials one can grow. Whether you live in Anchorage or Miami, there is a daylily that will grow there. Clay soil? Sand? Loam? Daylilies can adapt to just about any soil condition in which you might decide to plant them. […] The new season means it’s time for another “What a Cool Photo!” Contest! This time around, the subject is “Fall Color.” From the changing leaves to hardy mums, to sunflowers to vegetables – we want to see your fall garden! This is your chance to show off both your gardening and your photography skills! […] WOW Daylilies – Just a few years ago, we used to think any Daylily that was 4 inches across was really big! But today’s modern breeders have created many beautiful varieties that are over 5 1/2 inches across, some as much as 7 inches in diameter! A couple of ‘Spider’ types (the name comes from their longer, thinner petals) even reach an amazing 9 inches or more across! […] Just recently appearing on the Daylily scene, this variety is loaded with great features! It blooms continuously (rather than repeatedly with rest periods between) from early summer through fall; the blooms are 4 inches across, much bigger than any other early yellow with a long period of recurrent bloom; and the flower form is excellent, with broad ruffled petals that spread wide to maximize the color show. […] One of the first to bloom, and one of the longest to bloom! Also one of the larger-flowered of the Candy Series, with blooms of soft orchid pink centered by wine-purple eye zones. An added bonus, the blossoms stay open for 16 hours or more, which means they still look fresh when you get home from work or sit on the patio in the evening. […] |
