I got a box full of ditch lilies for postage from someone who had them in an area of their property and were spreading. I was thinking I would get .... you know ... a couple of fans. No! The box was full. I don't even know how many ... I'd estimate at least 20! The Spring after I got them, they bloomed up a storm. I had the Kwanso and the single bloom fulva ditchlily, so I had 2 different ones. They were beautiful ! Unfortunately, they only survived here a couple of years before they completely died off. I had them planted in two different areas and they died in both full sun and partial afternoon sun locations. The annuals and perennials around them did fine, so I have no idea why they didn't survive here. After that I received seeds from Sandi and grew them out ... not thinking much about them. Well, after they started blooming, I got interested REAL QUICK! They commanded my absolute attention! I have between 300-400 different seedlings. The past 12 months is the first time I've acquired named and registered daylilies. And I will shortly have a total of 35 named cultivars! Now I need to created more raised beds for all these beauties! I am a daylily addict.
