Extra Early Blooming Daylilies

 

    At Tranquil Lake Nursery, a few daylilies begin blooming in late May and many others are producing quite a display in early to mid-June well before the traditional daylily (Hemerocallis) season of late June through mid-August.   These extra early blooming varieties will add color and interest to your late spring and early summer garden. The extra early blooming daylilies listed below are in good supply. We have smaller numbers of many other early blooming flowers.We ship healthy double-fan divisions or clumps (4-5 fans), unless other-wise indicated. Occasionally, low stock varieties and some new introductions will be shipped as single fans. Our guarantee still applies.

An amazing miniature daylily that is a very consistent rebloomer which can increases to a small clump after one growing season. This pale, cream-yellow flower has faint lavender midribs that lead to a green throat that give this soft colored hybrid a little star power in the garden. In 2010, this lovely plant bloomed three different times and our hard frosts of late September was all that halted new, emerging scapes from flowering.
