Just the kind I like.. that is classic spider form. Rich colour.. I know you'll fit that in to your sparkling garden and look just right..

@pitter-patter They are very easy to grow. They are hardy down to -30C, and are happy in acid or alkaline soil of any kind. In America the wild daylilies are known as ditchweed, but they are also very drought tolerant. The only thing they don't like is full shade. They are the most popular perennial in the USA.

Hemerocallis Joan Senior

Not as fancy pants as some of your wonderful day lilies, but special for me... bought as a gift in memory of my dear Mum, Joan.

Thank you, @Alan Clark2 in Liverpool. That’s good to know. I’ve just discovered that they have quite a nice scent too.

In fact most of them do not have any scent, but a few have a good scent, so you are lucky!

One of the best scented varieties is Lilioasphodelus.. isn't that right Alan? I think it's lovely.. I planted some this year but they will flower next year.. thin, grassy, rather graceful foliage..
