Hemerocallis Daylily Blooms in Ohio Drought


The drought and extreme temperatures usually in the 90's and 100's has really taken it's toll on my gardens. I thought I would show some of my Hemerocallis or commonly known as Daylilies which thankfully are dependable no matter what, although foliage has sure been burning up. I've lost a lot of plants this year and a lot of other plants have been dug up, potted and put in shade in hopes of saving some things. I have a lot of spaces empty because of this.

Wineberry Candy is a beautiful combination of contrasting colors.

Daylily Austintatious. This is a constant rebloomer. Blooms were done for and within a couple weeks it was already reblooming.

Santa's Little Helper. Very bright colors and did quite a bit of blooming this year.

Might as well throw in a picture of the Lily trees growing here. Not as tall as usual with the lack of water this Spring, but still lovely.
