I've had some Hemerocallis from this nursery and her range is simply
amazing. I'm now in love with Jen Melon and Caramba. So while I
emphasise it is nothing to do with us, I do recommend

I'll second that. For some reason, 6 of 7 mature day lilies decided to
expire over the winter, despite being well-suited to the soil here and
the remaining one flowering its socks off (and still at it).

As well as having a fantastic range, Pollie is more than ready to
answer questions and offer advice. Whilst I've decided not to risk
replanting before the spring, I've been going through her catalogue
and am finding it really difficult to pare down the selection to just
half-a-dozen or so for which I have room. Maybe I'll have to resort to
giving her a blank cheque and letting her pick the six!

Strange, I have a mature clump of day lilies that every year for at
least 10 years has flowered well, this year not one flower spike.
I'll have to give it a good talking to and tell it another blank year
and it's out.
