Johnny Come Lately

Quite simply has to be the best late flowered Daylily with reliable blooms through August. The colours - all gingery cinnamon gold and rusty copper, are easy and effective to work with in the border. An indispensable part of my collection here for many years and a great season-extending Hemerocallis that keeps the colour coming.
Plant 20" apart or a little closer if in groups of 3 or more, or grow in 6 litre capacity containers.

Name - Flory 1980
Name - The name of the hybridizer and date of introduction.
Season of flowering - Late
Season of flowering -
Early usually starts mid-late June.
Mid Season is late June with main flowering through July.
Late season is late July and into August.
Please note flowering period can be affected by positioning and seasonality factors. By selecting varieties with different flowering periods you will get the longest period of bloom.
Bloom size - 4.5"
Bloom size - The bloom size is measured across the face of the bloom when open flat. It can vary a little according to age of the plant, etc.
Height - 30"
Height - This is an approximate height of the flower stems. The foliage is usually lower.
Foliage type - Dormant
Foliage type -
Dormant means the leaves dies down completely in the winter.
Semi Evergreen varieties maintain some foliage over-winter.
Evergreen varieties may maintain all foliage over the winter. The foliage state can be influenced by the severity or otherwise of the winter period.
It is often said that dormant varieties are the absolute hardiest but all offered varieties have been extensively trialled here and all are hardy.
Ploidy - Diploid
Ploidy - In layman's terms ploidy is the number of chromosomes a variety has. Older varieties are nearly all diploids but modern day breeding techniques resulted in improved tetraploid varieties with three chromosomes. It is difficult to distinguish between them in general plant appearance, although diploids do have ever so slightly narrower foliage. As far as the blooms are concerned tetraploids have flowers with thicker, heavier substance and fuller form and are the very pinnacle of perfection and grandeur. Diploids are not so heavily textured and can be more graceful in appearance. They also tend to open earlier in the day even when it is colder. Diploids will usually grow and increase more quickly.

Minnie Wildfire
The beauty of Minnie Wildfire lies not so much within each individual bloom so much as the inevitable mass display of many, many graceful modestly sized warm nutmeg and brownish bronze flowers which cluster amongst a multitude of slender stems to marvellous effect for many weeks during summer. Can produce over 35 buds per stem when established! Year in year out this is a top performer and a variety which associates so well in the mixed flower border it comes very highly recommended. An unusual one in the Spider class in that it is small flowered. Not to be overlooked. Good increaser.

Sammy Russell
Brick red with sharply defined narrow petals. Looks great in drifts or clumps of 3 or more and a quick grower so you don't have to wait long before you get a really floriferous show. This is a late flowering variety, normally still on the go in September and is set off to perfection with companion plants such as Helenium, golden and bronze grasses, crocosmia or purple leafed Heuchera as shown.
£5.00
Tigger
A very tidy clump with good foliage, looks just as satisfying in a planter or open border alike. Stocky stems bear wide eyed orange and red bi-colour flowers to dazzling effect. A variety with lots of character and flower-power. From one of America's foremost Daylily hybridizers. Often shows re-bloom scapes later in the season.
£7.50
Fulva
The original fulvous wild Hemeroclalis species sometimes simply known as the tawny or orange Daylily. Great for naturalising and suitable for almost any position the massed display of flowers provides a swathe of colour in July. Makes a big clump; still of value.

Duke of Durham
This has always been one of my favourites with it's gorgeous warm rustic colouring, each flower being a diamond dusted coppery bronze with a purple eye. Produces good late blooms too, so appropriate as summer nears it's end. Plant 20" apart or grow in 5 litre capacity container.
£5.50
Mikado
A very old historic cultivar that is not as easy to find as it used to be; the flowers have graceful lily form, are a rich golden yellow with a feathered maroon eye and borne on taller stems. Increases quickly and still desirable. Plant 22" apart or closer if in groups of 3 or more, or grow in 6 litre capacity containers.
