Interpretive labels identify each plant cultivar and its hybridizer. The garden continues to evolve as newer cultivars are added each year. A group of spider daylilies now grow on one of our back beds and the miniature bed has additional daylilies. The bloom season usually begins in late May and peaks in mid-June, with rebloom on many varieties until frost. |
