The foliage of this plant is a deep burgundy-purple in the spring. As it matures, it turns green. Both green and purple foliage may be seen on the plant at the same time. The stems are also deep purple-burgundy, bearing delicate spikes of white bell-shaped flowers in the spring. This plant is stunning planted with Queen of the Night tulips and dark purple heuchera.

This shrub appeared in my garden this year, probably planted by a helpful bird. It has a lovely fragrance, and the entire shrub is covered with blooms in late spring/early summer. I may have to relocate it, but it is a keeper!

Another in a long series of Marketmore releases from Cornell Univeristy. Added Resistance: downy mildew, powdery mildew, scab, cucumber mosaic virus. That appears to be the major difference from the original Marketmore. Marketmore 80, 82, 85, 86, 87, 88, 92, and 97 have also been introduced, each with additional disease resistance or freedom from bitterness but I have not tried them all. This one is pretty good.

Dependable bloomer, consistently perfect blooms once established. Doesn't seem to be bothered by cool weather.

Never fully opens in our cool climate. Even when we get in the 80's or 90's during the day, Edge of Your Seat must dislike the cool nights and mornings of the PNW.
Finally, Edge of your seat has opened well for me. I top dressed it with Milorganite and Alfalfa this spring. Now I'm not sure any longer that it was only the cool mornings effecting it.

Reliable, heavy bloomer. Opens well after a cool morning. It's an easy daylily to divide too.

Blue Diana only took one year to get established in my garden. The year after planting, it sent up many tall scapes and lots of bloom. What a great performer.

Checkerboard Curls established quickly and bloomed for many weeks even in its first year here. This is its second year in my garden and it's only gotten better.

Has trouble opening after a cool morning. Beautiful color but often produces splotchy blooms.

Opens well after a cool morning, making it a good cultivar for the PNW or other cooler regions.
