The Hemerocallis Happy Returns, also known as a Daylily, is a very fragrant pale yellow flower with a size of 3. With dark green foliage, this daylily will reach a height of 18 and a plant spread of 12-24. Happy Returns will bloom from May through July, with outstanding color and a definite rebloomer. Happy Returns prefers a full sun area that is well drained. Although the blooms will last only for one day, there are many blooms on strong stems that rise above tall grassy foliage, (remove in late fall). Happy Returns is considered to be pest and deer resistant. Use for cut flowers, massing, edging, in borders or in mixed containers and tubs.

The Gladiolus Purple King, ‘Gladioli’, a spring planted corm, exhibits magnificent purple flowers with a white throat on tall stalks. Gladiolus are also commonly called Sword Lily or Corn Flag. Plant in groups of six or more in the garden, or grow lots of them for cuttings in a bed. To extend the time of flower availability of your Glads, plant in two week intervals from early spring through June. They make striking accents in a mixed border. Glads are easy to grow and like to be in full sun and in well drained soil. Increase water and fertility when flowers begin to develop, then plant 4″ deep in clay soils, 6″ deep in others; the deeper the planting the less need for staking. In frost prone areas, dig them when the leaves turn yellow, dip them in a fungicide, and store in a dry frost free location over winter.
