Day Lilies

My gardener friend on the other end of our street was commenting today about her regrets about crowding her garden.

The main culprit is over-zealous, overtall, spreading day lilies.

We arrived at the same conclusion: Smaller, interesting, long-blooming lilies are best.

My favorite is this double, ruffled apricot day lily.

Day Lilies

I was getting annoyed with my big, tall day lilies that tend to overwhelm my flower beds.  Then I discovered the smaller, shorter double day lilies.  They seem to multiply well, but are less pushy.  Here are three of my favorites, especially the double apricot, which spreads so much I can share it with everyone.
