Daylilies are tough as nails! As a southern gardener and an archaeologist I know that they take clay soil and moist soil like a champ. I’ve rarely ever seen them wilt in the heat either. And the plant colonies they form through spreading can last easily over 100 years. I find them still living and blooming at old home sites from the 1800’s all the time. The basic orange variety was popular historically, with yellow less commonly.
My parents have some of the ancestors of George Washington’s daylilies. They were sold at Mount Vernon in the late 90s, and we bought some. They’re still thriving in their backyard in Georgia today. They’re yellow!
Do you know if the orange ones were called "Orange Tiger Lilies" back in the day? I live in Kentucky and these things grow about anywhere. I ask because I can remember my mother and g-mother calling them Tiger Lilies. It seemed they would plant them everywhere, I'm sure because they were free.😊 I have some of these orange lilies that I actually dug up from a ditchline, brought home and planted. It was around 5 plants. There is now a small hedge of them, around 10-12 mounds, they do multiply. I have moved them around my yard multiple times for various reason. I must say they are in bloom now and absolutely stunning.
It’s ok Laura. Lol. None of us really believed you when you said you weren’t going to do perennials out there. (And are secretly thrilled you didnt stick to that.)
END OF THE YEAR IDEA - Could you please make a supercut of all Russell’s photobomb’s? It would be a really fun video to see at the end of each December. ☺️ Either way, thank you for this channel, I’ve learned so much!
Fun fact: all daylilies come from an orange or yellow parent. Obviously, these are all Proven Winners varieties, but it you want to branch out I highly, highly recommend Oakes Daylilies. The number of varieties they have is incredible, and they send you a free plant with every order. (I’m not affiliated, just a fan)
I'm sure she can, but please note that sterile varieties (most Proven Winners plants) only provide nectar, not pollen or seeds, so they aren't as beneficial to wildlife. It's best to at least have a good mix of natives, non-sterile cultivars and sterile for wildlife.
For daylilies, there are over 80,000 named varieties. I grow a lot of them and had rabbits nesting in that garden. They never ate any of them. Now deer on the other hand love them!
Daylilies are so underrated! When most people think of them it’s the typical orange variety that was in your Memaw’s garden. I have some of the same varieties that you just showed and they are rockstars in our southern AL heat. We are in the mid 90’s with heat indexes of about 105 right now and they handle the weather like champs!
I totally agree. They are rock stars. They do handle the heat and weather like a champ. If your on the fence get them you won't regret it. I live in AL also and cut some and brought them in to enjoy in my house. I love them. I have 3 of the ones she planted in this video and they are gorgeous.
Just make sure to get the re-blooming type. I had the tetraploid kind with huge blooms and they were gorgeous but sadly only for a short time, so I am replacing them with the newer re-blooming type.
I love mine in East Tennessee also! We just left West Yellowstone on Monday and traveling to Bozeman airport it was 28 degrees and snowing!! Landed in Nashville to 90 degree weather 🥵
Hey! Not that you’ll probably end up seeing this, but two videos I’d love to see: one just about at what times of year you cut different things back. We have a bunch of things in our garden that have just been there for years and we don’t have tags, and I never know if I should cut it back at some point. I always notice things only have buds on new growth and I wish I cut them before! Otherwise, I’d just love to see a tour of all the machines you seem to have! Maybe it could be an Aaron video :)
I have Stella D'Oro daylillies interspersed between my hostas (paradigm) at the front of my house ringing my garden. It's a brilliant show of colours all summer long. I can't say enough good things about these 2 perennials. People stop & stare because they're so pretty & most importantly a happy uplifting colour to have in your garden. I think if you can brighten someone's day with your garden, that's fulfilling. ☺️🌱💖
These will be gorgeous! I keep doing the math though…11 x ~$20 in the one area alone! I absolutely realize that this is a business (thank you!), but not many of us can plant over $500 in flowers daily. I’m one of those living vicariously through you! (I’d have to buy 2 of each one and then wait to divide them over a few years to get drifts that big!)
I love the way you think of all the things we might want to know about the plants and what you are doing 😊. Thank you for you thoughtfulness and all the wonderful tips and knowledge you share with us about plants 🙏💙🙏💙🙏💕
For some reason I thought that day lilies only came in the ubiquitous orange and were all shaped the same. Thanks for opening my eyes to all the different kinds and colors! 🥰🥰🥰
☕️💜Good morning everyone from hot and steamy southeast Michigan. Oh Laura, the Lillie’s are just beautiful, my fav is the purple one, but they are all stunning. Thank you again for a lovely start to the day. Enjoy your gardening expertise each and every day! 🌸👏🏻
Was just admiring Jenny's (Gardening with Creekside) bank of yellow Daylilies yesterday! -They're always so thrilling in a big bank - so happy you put ALL of the purple ones together Laura - they'll be such a gorgeous sea of color when they bloom!!! AND they're such easy care. Thanks for showing us the new and beautiful colors! My 85 year old Dad has been growing Daylilies in his front yard for over a decade now, and they are STILL showy every summer. He confides that people think he "works hard" on his garden and chuckles.
Can you do a video on top 10 picks for a super fragrant garden? Can be vines, bushes, small and large plants, annual, perennials, anything! I really want more fragrant plants in my garden but want ones that last and that are worth planting. Looks like Daylily will be one of them for me! Thanks!
The editing and post production on this video was just great! It takes something that would already be fun to watch to a new level! Your videos are so polished and professional! Great job Ken/Aaron!
Generally I'm not a fan of daylillies, but you've definitely changed my mind! All of the varieties are gorgeous! And will look stunning in your gardens for sure. 🙂
Just yesterday my daughter pointed some out and I said "nah, I really don't care for daylillies". But had I seen any of these options I might have changed my mind!
Laura changes my mind on a lot of plants. My kids see me buying something new and can't believe I bought it because I've always said I didn't like them. "Well, I saw it on Garden Answer and now I do!" I think learning about them and seeing them planted alongside a good companion plant makes a big difference. I guess it's understanding the plant variety.😄☺️🌼❤️
Oh my goodness those are just gorgeous. Everything is looking so wonderful there. You guys give us so much knowledge, inspiration and motivation for our own gardens. Thank you for that. 💖
Even when life brings us down and discouraged - watching Laura planting brings us all JOY in the morning, which is a positive way to start the day (after devotions) I adore these additions - the colors are so wonderful. 🌺🌺🌷🌷🌸🌸🌸🌸🌷🌷🌺🌺🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I planted three of those daylily varieties last year: Storm Shelter, Sound of my Heart and King of Ages. Love all three of them. Sound of my Heart blooms first, followed shortly by Storm Shelter and then King of the Ages a few weeks later. This is my second season with them so I hope they bloom twice like you said. Last year they didn’t. Sound of my Heart has so many bloom stalks right now and Storm Shelter is getting them as well. So excited because I love them so much!! I am hoping Sound of my Heart will bloom soon because my Midnight Masquerade is blooming right behind it. So beautiful!! 😍😍😍
Laura, loved your video on daylilies. I have over 300 different colors in my gardens. As of 2018, there were over 80,000 registered daylilies. I think their would probably be a color for everyone's taste. Daylilies like moisture, but they don't like wet feet, so well drained soil is a must. They like moisture , but they are drought tolerant.
@@bethanywarner8565 Mine do not spread as much as , they get bigger and need to be divided. When you divide them sometime you can get 10 to 15 new plants. The problem I have with the tiger lilies is dropping of the little bullets along the stalk.
I cannot wait for them to bloom! Looking forward to the next update! The way you talk about a plant always makes me want to get it!! You have such an incredible eye for garden design! 😍😍😍
Hi garden friends, been watching Laura for years and love everything she does. Looking forward to seeing how everything evolves in her garden over the years!!! Garden tour, and drone videos…please!!😃
Good morning Garden Answer friends! I have bought last year similar color & style Proven winners day lily's. These really are quite beautiful! I put 2 in large flower pots down at the base of our driveway in full sun & they did very well. They have come back, I think deer may have nibbled on one at beginning of Spring but it is rebounding nicely. Thanks for the video & continuing to share your labor of love Laura and Aaron. Your landscape is coming together nicely.
Fifteen years of growing daylilies with no problems. Last year the deer decided to eat every daylily bud & bloom in the front ya4rd. In 2 nights they ate almost 70! Talk abour disappointment! This year all the front yard daylilies are covered with netting.
In late summer, the daylily foliage tends to look a little messy, so I usually cut them back all the way and they rebound perfectly fine, zone 6B in SW PA
Love your sweet personality and method of explaining things....everything is looking beautiful....l am not surprised though that perennials ended up in the new garden area....missed seeing TV he cats and kids.
I went back and watched the 4 garden tours when u first moved in and wow it’s amazing how gorgeous ur garden has grown, great work to you both and all that help. Love my mornings with you. ❤️
I inherited my mom's place 17 yrs ago, she planted the most divine scented Daylily under her bedroom windows, wish I knew the name. It has large flowers that are a pale maroon, shame we can't share photos here. All of her gardens are still blooming like crazy today, 42 yrs later, I'm a lucky girl.
Love daylilies and all their stunning flowers. Originally they were grown in China as a food crop. Indeed you will find tiger lily buds used in hot and sour soup.
Greetings from New Zealand! You've been super inspiring for me as I've just started to sow seeds and design and plan my garden this year. I'm in zone 9a and just started winter so sometimes the information doesn't 100% apply to me at this moment but it's still super interesting and fun to watch! I thought I wanted a super low maintenance garden for the last 2 years but since watching you I've genuinely fell in love with gardening, caring for plants, the design aspect and all. Thanks for all the content!
I love it! Daylilies are second only to roses for me. I have thousands of the old orange ones. I use them as side foundation plants under my very low windows, a side border in the front, and a ring around some trees. The bloom season is glorious. I do have to deadhead in the front yard. There are other clumps ( hundreds) of hybrids. Siloam Peony is DEFINITELY coming to my rose garden.
Perfect timing for your video! I just visited a daylily farm with acres and acres of day lilies ! Bought 7 beautiful plants for our zone 9 full sun front yard. Amador flower farm in Plymouth CA and they ship!!!
It's a good rule of green thumb to not plant anything under or around daylilies. that would restrict the airflow and harbor rust and other diseases and pests as would the practice of not removing dead foliage when they die down. I generally trim mine down at the end of the season one by one as the scapes finish blooming out.
Distracted by the Forest Pansy Redbud...I don't remember the video of you planting it, or maybe it wasn't leafed out. would love to know more about that Redbud. And those plum colored Storm Shelter lilies will look amazing there.
Thanks Laura! You provide motivation for me to get out of my garden each day. I love the day lilies and I'm thinking about going to the nursery and picking up a few of the more interesting ones especially the ones that bloom twice. I love having something in bloom every week.
I would love a video of showing the actual blooms of things you have planted. I always find the photos on tags and on the internet to be different than what the flower actually looks like in my garden. It’s due to natural lighting, sub optimal growing conditions, etc. Still love the plants but just know when I buy things that it may not look exactly like the tag. Would love to see some of your first year plants blooming to get and idea of what’s first year plant may look like too. We all know the sleep,creep, leap story and it’s nice to see what they look like in those first two years vs later.
I love daylilies I had to transplant most of mine this year for a new fence and walkway. I started adding them 2 years ago and snag every new variety they get in my area lol. I love your property and taste in bed design. It suits my likes as well.
Aaron, would you do a video on converting a sprinkler head into a drip irrigation? I put in a sprinkler system and later put in a flowerbed. One of the sprinkler heads is now in my new flowerbed and is beating my plants to pieces.
You can cap off that one head but you really can’t convert one head to drip. I have converted a whole zone and converter piece just screws into where a head is and then reduces the water pressure.
Good news! Mighty Chestnut daylily has been around for quite some time and is available for anybody who wants to get ahold of it! It is not a Proven Winners exclusive variety, so I can find it at virtually every garden center in my area. I have some in my garden and they are beautiful!
Morning! This reminds me of childhood. My Grandma had a "lily ring" that stood about waist high with beautiful orange flowers. The varieties now are simply stunning. Thank you for bringing back memories 😊🌳🌿🌼
I just planted Siloam peony daylilies late last summer, but the foliage is darker than yours. Hope yours do stay brighter ;). Mine were a garden center rescue, a few tired leftover plants with one faded, but gorgeous, bloom left, couldn't resist. I can't wait to see what they look like this year.
Hi Laura. Wow you got some amazing varieties of Daylillies. Would love to get my hands on the tall ones. Please give us an update this coming Summer. TY!
Good morning Laura, I love the daylillies!!! Can't wait to see them bloom!! I have alot of them in my yard and they're just starting to bloom!! I live in Wilmington NC and I have a major problem with deer eating everything I plant in my yard so I was hoping you could do a video on deer resistance plants.!!! I Know of a few and have them planted and deers don't bother them but I'd really love to know what to plant in my area zone 8a!!!! You guys are the best, I always look forward to seeing your video every morning at 7am!!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!
Foxglove are poisonous plants (roots, stems, leaves...the entire plant) and I'm told critters including deer know that so they tend to stay away. Maybe strategically plant foxglove around your garden or among your garden plants to deter the deer. Also, someone told me about motion detectors for deer. Amazon sells them. I've never tried them, but may be worth the investment if they work. I've tried Irish Spring soap, cut up in pieces and I take a piece of old fabric and make a "sachet" using a zip tie. I tie the sachets around the garden on stakes. This method has worked for both deer and rabbits. There are deer repellent mixtures that are sold in Home Depot. Hope this helps! Good luck!
Thank you for teaching us about gardening! My Russian Sage looks so much better than previous years, and it is because I actually got it pruned back when I needed to this year!
Here in SW Ohio we are having the kind of weather you usually have there...temps in high 90's and feeling like 106. Those daylilies are "SO PRETTY". Love where you planted them.
Daylilies are tough as nails! As a southern gardener and an archaeologist I know that they take clay soil and moist soil like a champ. I’ve rarely ever seen them wilt in the heat either.

Love this idea!! Great winter viewing video!!🐱🐈
Love ❤the kitties 😊
Fun fact: all daylilies come from an orange or yellow parent. Obviously, these are all Proven Winners varieties, but it you want to branch out I highly, highly recommend Oakes Daylilies. The number of varieties they have is incredible, and they send you a free plant with every order. (I’m not affiliated, just a fan)
Thanks!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you for sharing! I just checked them out and they do have some beautiful varieties.
Yes ! They have many types and sizes. Also lots of rebloomers! They often send an extra depending on the size of your order. Love their selection!
Never hurts to just look, right? 😉 tks for the source suggestion.
I don’t mind dividing plants!! It’s like getting free plants!!
Same
Hi guys, wondering if you can do a video on your top picks for a pollinator garden - similar to the ones you did on grasses, evergreens, etc.
That would be a great video
Great idea, I need pollinators for my veggie garden, having some problems with pollination this year.
I'm sure she can, but please note that sterile varieties (most Proven Winners plants) only provide nectar, not pollen or seeds, so they aren't as beneficial to wildlife. It's best to at least have a good mix of natives, non-sterile cultivars and sterile for wildlife.
I would check out the video about Benjamin's pollinator garden she did last year. I'm sure she used a lot of her top choices.
Dang! I envy your weather! North Alabama here, and we’re in a multi day heat wave. I walk outside and my glasses fog up. It’s like going to a sauna!
That’s why I moved out of SC. The heat is too much. I prefer a cooler climate
Here too in the midwest
Steamy here in Santa Rosa Beach FL!
We've got the same thing in Memphis...ugh! Ponytail time
This weather is not normal for the m at this time of year. I’ve never seen her mention rain and cool weather so often in her videos.
For daylilies, there are over 80,000 named varieties. I grow a lot of them and had rabbits nesting in that garden. They never ate any of them. Now deer on the other hand love them!
Good morning all have a safe and blessed day
I absolutely love lillies
Good Morning Garden Answer Friends!🌸🌺🐝🦋
Morning!
Good morning from AZ.. thank God video is up as I couldn’t sleep! 😃

I can't wait to see all of these in bloom! 😍I really like the thicker leaf structure of the daylillies too! Hope you all have a great day! -Cara 😀
The day lilies are a work horse. “Set it and forget it”. Just hope the cats stay out of them. 💚💚💚
Daylilies are my favorite ❤ What beautiful varieties!!!!
Hey! Not that you’ll probably end up seeing this, but two videos I’d love to see: one just about at what times of year you cut different things back.

We are under a heat advisory in Mississippi. 100 degrees 🥵. So jealous of your 2 layers 😆
I have a big bunch in a FULLshade area. Almost zero sun. I don't get blooms but the grassy texture is a beauty back drop.

It certainly has been steamy here for the last few days! Florida weather in Michigan.
Thankful our Michigan hot days don’t last long like the south! A few days & back to comfortable weather!🌺🌞
Jungle weather in Michigan. All over the stat sheets-- hot, cold, wet, dry. Blink and it changes!
Love Daylilies they are great here in my zone 3. The rabbits and deer don’t touch them at all. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Not all daylilies are fragrant, so you want to look for that in the description.
That deep purple one is amazing! Can’t wait to see them blooming🌺💜💜
The editing and post production on this video was just great! It takes something that would already be fun to watch to a new level! Your videos are so polished and professional! Great job Ken/Aaron!
I love daylillies and have several around the yard. I use a wipper snipper in the fall to cut back foliage
Can’t wait to see all that you have done via the drone, it is all looking great, I have tree envy as I have no space to plant trees
Thanks for sharing can’t wait to see all those blooms 🙌🧤👒🐨🦘🇦🇺Karen from Australia 😎☀️🦇🦇🍂🪴
Generally I'm not a fan of daylillies, but you've definitely changed my mind! All of the varieties are gorgeous! And will look stunning in your gardens for sure. 🙂
Yes, me too and I thought the same.
Anyway, those colors are stunning
Ciao from Italy! :)
I feel the same about daylilies. I think I don't like their leaf texture.
@@amyc9642 I always see a mass of unappealing floppy leaves in other gardens but not with these varieties!
Just yesterday my daughter pointed some out and I said "nah, I really don't care for daylillies". But had I seen any of these options I might have changed my mind!

I can hardly wait to see your garden tour this summer ... especially Aaron's overhead views ... they give such a great perspective!!
Gorgeous plants, especially the thicker leafs . Can’t wait to see a new garden tour . I’m sure everything looks so beautiful and healthy as usual .
They are all so beautiful. Can't wait to see them bloom.

her garden is out of this world

your happy personality drew me in though I don’t garden. Maybe I’ll start.
I have three of the Shiloam day lillies and you’re gonna love those! Very pretty peachy color and smell really nice.
Dang, this south garden is filling in niiiiiice! Keep up the great work!

Day lilies make a beautiful salad add, use honey and lime juice. Eat them they only last a day. Texas
Kocham liliowce ❤ Tajemniczy Ogród
I love it!
Daylilies are second only to roses for me. I have thousands of the old orange ones. I use them as side foundation plants under my very low windows, a side border in the front, and a ring around some trees.
The bloom season is glorious. I do have to deadhead in the front yard.
There are other clumps ( hundreds) of hybrids.
Siloam Peony is DEFINITELY coming to my rose garden.
Perfect timing for your video! I just visited a daylily farm with acres and acres of day lilies ! Bought 7 beautiful plants for our zone 9 full sun front yard. Amador flower farm in Plymouth CA and they ship!!!
I enjoy all of your gardening and bits of info.
Neat and wonderful.
These are all so pretty!!
It's a good rule of green thumb to not plant anything under or around daylilies. that would restrict the airflow and harbor rust and other diseases and pests as would the practice of not removing dead foliage when they die down. I generally trim mine down at the end of the season one by one as the scapes finish blooming out.
Distracted by the Forest Pansy Redbud...I don't remember the video of you planting it, or maybe it wasn't leafed out. would love to know more about that Redbud. And those plum colored Storm Shelter lilies will look amazing there.
I received my first ever shipment of proven winner flowers yesterday 😀
Awesome video!
Great job 🥰👏👌👍🌼🌺🌱💕
Thanks Laura! You provide motivation for me to get out of my garden each day. I love the day lilies and I'm thinking about going to the nursery and picking up a few of the more interesting ones especially the ones that bloom twice. I love having something in bloom every week.
Daylilies are a perfect companion for a carefree garden. They will naturalize and spread nicely. I love these colors!
I would love a video of showing the actual blooms of things you have planted. I always find the photos on tags and on the internet to be different than what the flower actually looks like in my garden. It’s due to natural lighting, sub optimal growing conditions, etc. Still love the plants but just know when I buy things that it may not look exactly like the tag. Would love to see some of your first year plants blooming to get and idea of what’s first year plant may look like too. We all know the sleep,creep, leap story and it’s nice to see what they look like in those first two years vs later.
I think I need some day lilies in my garden!
It’s so fun watching you plant and develop your new property!
It’s amazing!!💚💚
I love daylilies I had to transplant most of mine this year for a new fence and walkway. I started adding them 2 years ago and snag every new variety they get in my area lol. I love your property and taste in bed design. It suits my likes as well.
I love the colors you selected.
Aaron, would you do a video on converting a sprinkler head into a drip irrigation? I put in a sprinkler system and later put in a flowerbed. One of the sprinkler heads is now in my new flowerbed and is beating my plants to pieces.
You can cap off that one head but you really can’t convert one head to drip. I have converted a whole zone and converter piece just screws into where a head is and then reduces the water pressure.
I love daylilies. I just wish their bloom time was longer. The varieties you planted are so pretty.
Good news! Mighty Chestnut daylily has been around for quite some time and is available for anybody who wants to get ahold of it! It is not a Proven Winners exclusive variety, so I can find it at virtually every garden center in my area. I have some in my garden and they are beautiful!
Morning! This reminds me of childhood. My Grandma had a "lily ring" that stood about waist high with beautiful orange flowers. The varieties now are simply stunning. Thank you for bringing back memories 😊🌳🌿🌼
Thank you for introducing me to Espoma products. Game changer.
I just planted Siloam peony daylilies late last summer, but the foliage is darker than yours. Hope yours do stay brighter ;). Mine were a garden center rescue, a few tired leftover plants with one faded, but gorgeous, bloom left, couldn't resist. I can't wait to see what they look like this year.
Hi Laura. Wow you got some amazing varieties of Daylillies. Would love to get my hands on the tall ones. Please give us an update this coming Summer. TY!
I look forward to your videos every morning while I drink my coffee ☕️
Good morning Laura, I love the daylillies!!! Can't wait to see them bloom!! I have alot of them in my yard and they're just starting to bloom!! I live in Wilmington NC and I have a major problem with deer eating everything I plant in my yard so I was hoping you could do a video on deer resistance plants.!!! I Know of a few and have them planted and deers don't bother them but I'd really love to know what to plant in my area zone 8a!!!! You guys are the best, I always look forward to seeing your video every morning at 7am!!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!
Foxglove are poisonous plants (roots, stems, leaves...the entire plant) and I'm told critters including deer know that so they tend to stay away. Maybe strategically plant foxglove around your garden or among your garden plants to deter the deer. Also, someone told me about motion detectors for deer. Amazon sells them. I've never tried them, but may be worth the investment if they work. I've tried Irish Spring soap, cut up in pieces and I take a piece of old fabric and make a "sachet" using a zip tie. I tie the sachets around the garden on stakes. This method has worked for both deer and rabbits. There are deer repellent mixtures that are sold in Home Depot. Hope this helps! Good luck!
I know that you are very busy, but I love your channel so much and I long for longer videos.
Thank you for teaching us about gardening! My Russian Sage looks so much better than previous years, and it is because I actually got it pruned back when I needed to this year!
Good morning Laura, love day lillies!🌼🌼 hugs from N.C..❤️
Here in SW Ohio we are having the kind of weather you usually have there...temps in high 90's and feeling like 106. Those daylilies are "SO PRETTY". Love where you planted them.
You showed some gorgeous colors and varieties. Thanks so much. It’s fun to try to find new specimen. ❤️
I absolutely love lilies. Almost as much as I love sunflowers
