This daylily sports a very fiery red orange bloom and is very deep in color near to the throat making it look very striking. But it is very short scaped in my garden. It's registered at 32 inches. I see nothing close to that height, mine only gets to about 8 to 10 inch scapes at the most. Very squat daylily in my south VA zone 7a garden.
This plant has the best looking foliage in the garden today. It has almost no yellowing dying leaves and stands out as being the greenest foliage by far. Plan to work it into more of my crosses.
This cultivar is always larger than the registered size here in 7a- massive blooms, often around 9"! Occasionally (but not often) throws up a rebloom scape, too.
I acquired this daylily both intentionally (from Oakes, though I didn't realize it was unregistered) and unintentionally (from Smokey's, when I got it instead of Fol De Rol). It's growing well here in Zone 7b Winston-Salem, NC.)
I do not believe Pauline Henry is the hybidizer for this daylily. As I remember a nursery, which I have forgotten the name of in South Carilina, did this one in honor of Pauline Henry. They had a good working relation with Pauline.
The blooms on this cultivar have a wonderful habit of closing up neatly and as tightly as a bud when they are finished. I wish all daylilies had this self-grooming trait!
Both my images were taken at the same time from different angles, which caused the lighting to change. The "pinker" version is closer to the in-person color.
Note that although this name is not registered with the AHS, it is a valid cultivar name. The purveyor puts the name in single quotes and has published a sufficient description of it. I will post a picture of the pot tag.
This cultivar is astonishingly fragrant! Especially in the evening, it emits a level of fragrance that has one sniffing around trying to figure out who's doing laundry, and wanting to find out which floral fabric softener is being used so one can add it to the shopping list. Wonderful!
This little beauty really popped on its first bloom in my garden. It is red and yellow, not tan, for me in Zone 13. And the heavy ruffling and yellow edge is delightful. So sweet!
'Stella Supreme' is a valid cultivar name, however it is not registered with the American Hemerocallis Society, so it is not in that database. Because it is not registered with AHS, it is not eligible for any AHS awards. Nor can it be exhibited in AHS accredited daylily shows.
This is a commercially propagated Daylily cultivar. Unlike many of those, it is not a patented daylily, nor is there any indication on sites selling it that the name is a trademark. It can be freely propagated and distributed under the name 'Stella Supreme' by anyone.
Orangeman very neatly folds up its old blooms. If you don't deadhead, it still looks nice.
Though Orangeman isn't anything fancy, it blooms earlier than most, sometimes as much as a month before the others and is very neat and tidy in habit. Opens well on cool mornings too.
Walter and Sybil Przypek 2005 unregistered introduction. Diploid. Small, said to be 12" tall. Leaves green up as the weather hots up. Said to have small yellow flowers in early summer. May or may not be stable variegation. Online advice for any variegated daylily is to dig out any solid green fans that appear, to maintain the variegated ones. Green-leaved ones will out-compete the other ones.
'Barbary Corsair' was a gift, years ago, included on an order from Oakes Daylilies. It was small, both in bloom and as an overall plant ... 3 inches and 16 inches, respectively, in the stats...
I planted it into the gardens in a good location, with a full day of direct sun, and into compost (as I do every other plant and all other daylilies in the gardens). It bloomed modestly the first year, but came back in a smaller clump the next year, was barely hanging on the third year... and disappeared altogether at some point thereafter.
While I do successfully grow many daylilies here in zone 3 that are listed for warmer zones (including zones 5 and even 6), 'Barbary Corsair' did poorly here and then died (one of, literally, only a handful that has ever completely failed here). - As it was a 'gift' (and cost me nothing except time and space) I do not complain - but I would not recommend it for cold northern gardens.
'Angels over Me' was new for my gardens in 2022. Surprisingly, it bloomed its first summer ... which, in zone 3, is not all that common. The blooms were slightly smaller than the 6.5 inches noted but it budded well and bloomed for several weeks. Once it has matured, become a better-established clump, I have great expectations for this lovely pastel lavender / pink daylily. It also consistently shows a pale creamy-yellow watermark, which is echoed along the ruffled petal edge by a creamy matching tone. And it's fragrant. This one is elegant and lovely.
