The Daffodil ‘Love Call’, ‘Narcissi spilt corona’, a fall planted bulb, is a new split corona introduction with two overlapping layers of white petals and a contrasting butterfly orange cup. This spectacular split-corona Daffodil looks like a double upon first glance. Love Call is a showstopper in both the garden and in arrangements, where the unusual colors can be appreciated close up. The blossoms last up to 4 weeks and appear in mid spring. They are great for mass plantings, containers, and borders. Love Call bulbs, once planted, can remain in the ground for many years. They will multiply and produce the most abundant flowering results in the 2nd and 3rd year. If necessary, very large clumps of bulbs can be lifted as soon as the leaves wither, and then they can be divided and replanted as soon as possible. After flowering, let the leaves yellow before cutting them back. The plants are deer, rabbit, and squirrel resistant.

The Daylily Thundering Ovation, ‘Hemerocallis’, is a re-blooming daylily that certainly deserves its name. It displays large, 5″ blooms in intense deep purple, illuminated by a golden yellow throat, and ruffled golden edges. This show-stopper will start blooming in July, and will deserve a second round of applause when it re-blooms later in the season. It is an evergreen variety and is a great perennial. Each plant sends up many flower stems, and each stem bears 12 or more buds. Bloom is lavish and continues for several weeks or more on each plant. Trouble-free, maintenance-free, they tolerate most soils and conditions if they get at least 6 hours of sun. Use them in a perennial border, in front of shrubbery, as an edging along a walk or wall, and in your bulb beds, where they hide the ripening foliage of tulips and daffodils. They need dividing only every 10-15 years. Plants 18-24″ apart.
