Many of the offerings are for the temperate climate and will not perform as well in Florida. This marvelous perennial should be a part of every landscape. It is tolerant of drought and produces many plants that can increase your plantings for the landscape. The tetraploids have more colors than the diploids. Attend daylily shows later in the spring and make your selection from flowers displayed in the show.
Most shows have plants for sale.
I have checked many of them and found it was the result of the prolonged drought earlier in the year. Gil Whitton, columnist, radio and television host, author and adjunct faculty member at the University of Florida, is a horticultural consultant and tree and plant appraiser.
