Hi My day lily (Hyperion) that I have had for a very long time didn't bloom the the right time and the color and fragrance isn't right either . It was always a very pretty pale yellow and the fragrance was so nice, when I first got it ,, I divided it and put them along a fence so we could smell them on our patio It would bloom right around July 4 with the pink cone flowers and liatris .We move in 2012 and that year the deer ate them .2013 we put them in new raised bed with new soil and all that was needed to grow good ,,the first thing I notice was the color was off and I just thought it might be the soil and the crazy weather we had here last year ,,nothing grew right until the very end of August. This past couple of weeks they open late ,very little fragrances and the color is way off deeper shade of yellow instead of the pretty pale yellow . I have 3 other day lilies that are close by .(Cranberry Cove ) beautiful red (Pardon Me) red and my very favorite to have in perennial flower beds (Miss Amelia ) pale yellow ...... Can they cross pollinate ?? today I order some more Hyperion from White flower farms.. Should I move the red day lilies away from the yellows? Thank you very much This is a very nice site a lot of good info here ..
