Daylilly – the Tough, Adaptable Plant

Posted on June 22, 2020June 30, 2020 by Marietta Buchner

Daylilies are noted for their toughness to adapt to almost any soil and light condition, but will perform best in full sun. They tolerate road salt. Their vibrant colors could be magazine photos. Take a look at the intense color of Indian Love Call (just amazing color). Daylilies usually bloom in late June and July. With modern hybridization many new ones are rebloomers. A new one this year is Saffron Skye, a beautiful ruffled gold daylily. Their maintenance is pretty easy and they handle our winters with ease. Following are some of the daylilies we have in stock.

Lenten Rose (Hellebore)

Posted on April 4, 2020April 8, 2020 by Marietta Buchner

Quiz? What is one of the easiest plants to grow with gorgeous flowers that bloom from early spring to mid-June?
Answer: A Lenten rose or a Christmas rose named so because it normally blooms during Lent. The Latin name is Hellebore. Once the plant is mature, it can produce 50 or more flowers each season. The blooms are 2-3 inch in size. It is a shade plant and blooms in a variety of rich colors from an almost black to ivory. They make a luscious border for ferns and hostas. They are deer and rabbit resistant. Our nursery is carrying 7 varieties of the Hellebore. Pictured below are five varieties.
