Earlier this year I put fluorescent pink tape on Joan Senior's name tag. In my yard pink tape means "I've had enough, you've worn out your welcome." In response, Joan defied me and put forth a stellar year, blooming from July 3 through August 19. I recently removed the pink tape and wondered "What was I was thinking?" This old-school evergreen daylily has been a bit temperamental for me. Over the years I've moved her to different spots around the garden trying to make her happy. On this, her fourth move, I think I have *finally* found her happy place!
Joan Senior arrived in my garden as a bonus plant from a daylily order many years ago. She is a multiple award winner and has been used extensively in hybridizing. She has a whopping 196 children on the books! These include some well-known daylilies that include 'Bee's Betty Sue,' 'Nanuq,' and 'Snowy Night.'
This understated beauty is perfect for the front-of-the-border, growing about 25" tall. The 6" near-white blooms always look crisp and clean and the dark green foliage contrasts nicely. Okay Joan Senior, you've made your point - you can stay.
