I'm crazy, right? Why didn't I keep these flowers? Every year I purchase approximately ten to fifteen new daylilies from my wish list. For that to happen I need garden spaces to open up and there's only one way to do that. The decisions are always hard, but there's no way I'm making my gardens any larger.

Here are some of the daylilies I parted company with in 2018 and the reasons why:
  • Bertie Ferris - A prolific mini I've had since the dawn of time - I wanted to try something new.
  • Betty Ford - Betty was not happy in my 100% sun garden. I made sure she went to a home with part shade.
  • Burning Inheritance - I had a love/hate relationship with this one. Some years it was absolute perfection and some years it was not. Burning Inheritance needed an owner who was not so picky.
  • Greystone Sirens (unregistered Lehman seedling) I had a similar plant and I chose to keep the registered one.
  • Lake Effect - (blog cover girl) I didn't have enough shade to keep this plant happy in my garden. I found it a new home that has afternoon shade.
  • Little Grapette - Super difficult decision; I had grown Little Grapette since I started gardening and it always bloomed like a superstar. I gave this little pixie to a gardener who is just starting out. I know she'll fall in love with daylilies after growing this one.
  • Mardi Gras Parade - A gorgeous, profuse bloomer, but my cranky back does not like to deadhead this shorty.
  • Siloam Doug's Double  - Ditto Mardi Gras Parade
  • Siloam Jim Cooper - Another small one...
  • Spacecoast Starburst - I grew this beauty for about 12 years and simply wanted to try something new and different.
  • Tom Leonard - Another one of my love/hates. I wanted so badly to keep it, but I think a change of scenery was what it really needed. It just wasn't happy at my house.
  • Tupac Amaru - I also grow Lounge Lizard, which is quite similar to Tupac. I parted company with Tupac and kept Lounge Lizard because it's taller; I've been gravitating towards taller lately.
  • What Nerve - This pretty went to my very dear friend -- I knew she'd take good care of it :)
