Native in the Pacific Northwest from Alaska to California, east across Canada and northern U.S. to the Atlantic coast. Waxy white berries hold through winter, and contain low concentrations of saponin causing vomiting and dizziness. Potential medicinal uses: infusion of fruit used as eyewash; crushed berries rubbed on burns, rashes, and sores; decoction of roots and stems used as diuretic and for venereal diseases; tea of roots used to clear up afterbirth. This is an important native shrub providing shelter and food for birds and small mammals, browse for large mammals. The leaves are eaten by the sphinx moth larvae. This plant makes a great combination with sword ferns in the winter, with the berries suspended above the ferns.

Slow spreading clumping habit. May be used as a tonic or for diarrhea or pain.

I find that if I snip out about 2/3 of the flower stalks, I end up with a fuller plant and still plenty of bloom. I also cut old flowered stalks back to ground level as soon as they look ratty.

'China Pink' is a sport of 'Delft Blue'.

This is possibly a sport of the ubiquitous 'Celadine'. The blooms have green streaks.

I grew Mokan Butterfly before and it was one of my favorites! The flowers were beautiful. It was a cheery sight when it was in bloom. I remembering it grew well. A great daylily to grow!

The reason I don't grow it anymore is that I had approx. 400 daylilies at the time and needed to cut back a lot of the ones I grew. I'm growing taller dayliles that are the 'Spidery' and unusual forms now.

I used to grow Mariska years ago. It's a pretty one to grow. It seemed to me to have some vigor in the growth. I gave away some fans to a friend of ours and more fans grew in the space I dug. It just wanted to grow, increase and spread. I had it in a flowerbed that had loose and well draining soil.

I grew Make Believe Magic years ago and loved it! Each flower was perfect every time! There were a lot of flowers on that plant every year. Probably close to 40 blooms, just as it's registered as being. I think it bloomed early to mid season for me.

Years ago, I grew Lime Frost and although it was beautiful in bloom, it wasn't a very late bloomer in my garden. I remember it blooming around mid season. It was only one of two whites I grew, as I tended to grow the daylilies that were in color. Pat Stamile must have hybridized and registered this one while he lived in FL.

I bought this plant to be one of several puddles of evergreen groundcover.
It overran and killed all the others.
I'll be digging it out and replacing a friend's LAWN with it in 2014.

Martinette has multiple blooms on each stem. The flowers themselves are quite small but the effect of a grouping of them is very striking.

Vivid jewel colors and lovely scent on the Hyacinth flowers.

Madame Lefeber is also known as Red Emperor. A very vivid and vibrant true-red bloom. You can't miss it! A tulip that should return year after year after year after year.

I love the color of the flowers of Big Chief -- luminous pink. That, combined with the really large blooms, makes Big Chief a standout wherever it blooms. This Darwin Tulip is very good at returning each spring.

May be a noxious weed or invasive.

Sun Dance is such a cheerful yellow bloom that I can't help but love it. On sunny days the flowers open wide and you really see the yellow interior. On cloudy days they stay closed and you get a better view of the red flamed outside.

Native to the eastern Mediterranean and cultivated for thousands of years as a source of Pine (Pignoli) nuts. Now widely cultivated worldwide.

Love these tiny blooms on this species tulip. It blooms very early, right after the crocus. And they really look like crocus also except that no crocus flowers come in this hot pink violet color.
