Daylily - Thundering Ovation

The Daylily Thundering Ovation, 'Hemerocallis', is a re-blooming daylily that certainly deserves its name. It displays large, 5" blooms in intense deep purple, illuminated by a golden yellow throat, and ruffled golden edges. This show-stopper will start blooming in July, and will deserve a second round of applause when it re-blooms later in the season. It is an evergreen variety and is a great perennial. Each plant sends up many flower stems, and each stem bears 12 or more buds. Bloom is lavish and continues for several weeks or more on each plant. Trouble-free, maintenance-free, they tolerate most soils and conditions if they get at least 6 hours of sun. Use them in a perennial border, in front of shrubbery, as an edging along a walk or wall, and in your bulb beds, where they hide the ripening foliage of tulips and daffodils. They need dividing only every 10-15 years. Plants 18-24" apart. ... additional info

 

Geranium - Southcombe Double There are only a few double-geraniums in cultivation and don't look like a Geranium at first glance. Geraniums are grown in almost any soil as long as it is not wet. They do best in sun, but will tolerate some degree of shade. For the most part, cranesbill are long-lived and do not require a lot of care. They are perfect in the perennial border and work well as a ground cover too.
