The Daylily Cool It, ‘Hemerocallis’, exhibits big 6″ fragrant flowers of white with a green throat. They bloom in June-July and repeat in August- September. A semi-evergreen variety, Daylilies are the perfect 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.

The Daffodil ‘Sound’, ‘Narcissi large-cupped’, a fall planted bulb, is an exquisite and enduring work of art, like the fine violin for which it was named. The flowers are beautifully shaped and unusually colored, a glowing orange cup surrounded by a bright white perianth. The plan also exhibits broad green foliage. The blossoms last up to 4 weeks and appear in mid spring. They are great for mass plantings, containers, and borders. Sound 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.
