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.)
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.
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!
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.
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)
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!
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. ☺️🌱💖
☕️💜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! 🌸👏🏻
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!
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!!😃
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 🥵
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! 🥰🥰🥰
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. 💖
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.
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!! 😍😍😍
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!)
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.
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 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 🙏💙🙏💙🙏💕
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 :)
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!
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. ❤️
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! 😍😍😍
I had no idea day lillies came in so many colours! Just gorgeous!! And I love how frilly and delicate, but yet bold and striking they each are. Stunning!
Wow, your weather is really all over the place this year. The moisture will certainly help all your plants get established. Beautiful Daylilies. I also like the straight lines they add to the garden.
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.
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 😊🌳🌿🌼
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!!!

How cool! Thanks for sharing this
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing your info. Any hints for Naked Ladies Lillies?

don't forget about Cheddar 🧀 😻
Love this idea!! Great winter viewing video!!🐱🐈
Love ❤the kitties 😊
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.
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.
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 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 😀
I don’t mind dividing plants!! It’s like getting free plants!!
Same
Good morning from AZ.. thank God video is up as I couldn’t sleep! 😃
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!
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.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Good morning all have a safe and blessed day

We are under a heat advisory in Mississippi. 100 degrees 🥵. So jealous of your 2 layers 😆
☕️💜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! 🌸👏🏻
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!
The day lilies are a work horse. “Set it and forget it”. Just hope the cats stay out of them. 💚💚💚
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
That deep purple one is amazing! Can’t wait to see them blooming🌺💜💜
Good Morning Garden Answer Friends!🌸🌺🐝🦋

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.

Not all daylilies are fragrant, so you want to look for that in the description.
Woul love to see a hummingbird.
I can’t wait to see all of them in bloom. I love daylilies!
Can’t wait to see the lilies in bloom!
Love these! Can’t wait to see them all bloom!
Awesome video!
Great job 🥰👏👌👍🌼🌺🌱💕

Love all the beautiful DAYLILIES , looking forward to see them bloom 💖💖💖
It’s so fun watching you plant and develop your new property!
It’s amazing!!💚💚
What beautiful varieties. You’re filling up that huge space quickly 👏
They are all so beautiful. Can't wait to see them bloom.
Beautiful plants, can't wait to see them blooming.
Awesome. Looking forward to seeing the daylilies come to bloom. Have a awesome rest of your day Ms Laura and family.
Laura’s hair is gorgeous in the Spring sun matching the day lilies🌼🌼
Beautiful colors of all the varieties you planted! Can’t wait to see them in bloom!
Daylillies are one of my favorite! I love their lush, green foliage.
Oh my gosh I can’t wait to see these when they bloom 😍🌸🌺
Planting and then rain... its just the perfect combo 👌
Such beautiful varieties. Should look gorgeous together!
Laura, everything is looking so beautiful! Can’t wait to see all your spaces further down the road. Blessings to you and all your family. 🥰
These are beautiful day lilies. thanks for sharing
Everything is so beautiful 😍
The grass is beautiful. Good job Aaron
Beautiful Flowers!
I can't wait to see how all of this comes together. Five years from now it is going to be so spectacular 🤩💚

Beautiful! My garden needs some day lilies after seeing these gorgeous plants. Thank you for always inspiring me!
I can't wait to see them blooming. I want some. Lowes here I come.🤗 I hope they have some.
Those day lillies were beautiful looking !
I had no idea day lillies came in so many colours! Just gorgeous!! And I love how frilly and delicate, but yet bold and striking they each are. Stunning!
Beautiful plants. Always a joy to watch. Thank you. xo
You showed some gorgeous colors and varieties. Thanks so much. It’s fun to try to find new specimen. ❤️
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 .
Beautiful! I love daylilies i have them also in my gardens i do believe im going to go get more!
Daylilies are so pretty love them
I have a whole flower bed full of different varieties of daylilies! They are beautiful flowers! So happy to see you planting some! Love your channel!
Hi Laura!!! Thanks for your knowledge and sharing your knowledge with me!!!!!
These are all so pretty!!
I enjoy all of your gardening and bits of info.
Your soil is looking amazing with all that rain and amending you have been doing! 👏🏻👏🏻
These will be beautiful.

Good morning Laura, love day lillies!🌼🌼 hugs from N.C..❤️
You might be my favorite person, I love your passion and you are so inspirational!!
Love daylilies. One of favorites. I have a large bed of them starting to bloom. Yeah
I look forward to your videos every morning while I drink my coffee ☕️
Beautiful ❤❤❤
Daylilies were one of my mother's favorites! She had them all over her garden, they just about took over the yard.
I love daylillies and have several around the yard. I use a wipper snipper in the fall to cut back foliage
My Daylily blooms are almost finished. One of my loves in the garden.
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 😊🌳🌿🌼
So perty thank you for showing
Neat and wonderful.
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!!!
her garden is out of this world
All my day lillies are blooming now. Everyone needs to plant some. Those are beautiful varieties.
