They turn a pretty color in fall before dropping off and showing the pretty exfoliating limbs during winter.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-32469608415947401522019-07-16T14:31:44.943-04:002019-07-16T14:31:44.943-04:00Thanks Phillip.

I haven't bought a daylily in years. I kind of went crazy with them 20 years ago. They are so reliable. Then I realized that all I had in the garden was that strappy foliage. I had to do something about that. <br />I had never grown croton before. Well, I guess that isn't entirely true. I was gifted with a small one 25 years ago and promptly killed it. This is the first time I got one to grow more than a couple of weeks. :) This one was quite large when I bought it this spring. I put it into a larger pot than what it came in and it took off. I have already told my daughter she can have it this fall. She has a sunroom where she can over winter it inside. She has one that is way too large for her little sunroom. This one will replace that one.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-87820254845890358992019-07-16T14:16:33.033-04:002019-07-16T14:16:33.033-04:00Hi Joy,
There are so many new varieties of spider ...Hi Joy,<br />There are so many new varieties of spider daylilies. This one is Wilson Spider. I think it came out in the early 2000's or late 1990s. I know I paid more for it because it was a relatively new variety. Of course now it is like an old shoe. ;)<br /><br />I too have Curly Fries. It has done well in a container for several years. I actually put 'repot curly fries' for this summer but haven't done so yet. I need to do it before it is too late. I looked up Little miss sunshine. She is a cutie too. I have to be careful where I plant hostas especially the small ones because it gets so hot and dry here during summer. <br /><br />I am amazed that oakleaf hydrangeas don't do well for you. I have three of them. One is ancient and is a horrible place, under a maple tree. The other two aren't very old for me because a gal I know brought them to me saying they were getting too large for the spot she had them. She didn't know what kind they were but they have done well enough in my garden. She brought them during the heat of summer, bare root and cut way back. So I know they are tough plants. Maybe your winters are too severe for them???<br /><br />The next time I see one of those sea hollies I am going to try one. I can give it all afternoon sun. This is exciting to me. Do you find that they reproduce a lot? I will see what they do for me. They are a perfect halloween flower. :) Another that might intrigue you is called a Rattlesnake Master. It is a native plant and it has a very architectural look with interesting blooms. I beleive it can be dried. I have a few in the garden. This is their second year and they got to about 3 foot tall. Really looking good. I will let you know if they dry good.<br /><br />You are right about us not knowing what the weather will bring. I am grateful for the spring rains as we had been in a drought for 3 years. I haven't tried to plant too many new things. It is just so disheartening to see them die. May these spring rains continue into summer. I have learned that my poor plants need more watering. I am not very good at doing that. <br /><br />Mistress of the Daylily. <br />Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-68706895767300649902019-07-16T12:05:45.419-04:002019-07-16T12:05:45.419-04:00Hello Mistress of the Daylily !

Now you have ...Hello Mistress of the Daylily ! LOL<br />Now you have me wanting .. lusting ? for a spider daylil !<br />You have such a wonderful assortment of plants in your garden Lisa .. I love seeing them ALL ! Wouldn't it be cool if we could share plants? I would so be up for that .. I looked up Cheatin' Heart and it is gorgeous .. I have Curly Fries and Little Miss Sunshine for smaller punches of yellow , which I love .. then I have some big ones for more impact .. I think a garden is missing something without those punches of yellow right ? The the hydrangea you have are great ones .. my oakleaf never made it (twice I tried) but I have lots more paniculata that thrive so far .. you asked about Big Blue and light requirements .. it only gets afternoon sun .. it is in the shade most of the morning, so it must get enough .. half day ? I just cut some to "dry" in the house, my Halloween flower ! LOL<br />This has been a strange season .. starting out badly with so many loses but now it seems really quite good .. who knows what is next right ?CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-21739062656503880842019-07-16T10:55:28.192-04:002019-07-16T10:55:28.192-04:00Everything looks great.
