Daylily Carefree Peach $19
Klehm 1988. 24″ tall scapes, 2.5″-3″ blooms, petite, peachy-apricot with a ruffled edge, yellow-green throat and a thin rose halo. Blooms early through mid-season. This is a good front-of-the border or along-a-walkway plant that provides some of the first early summer garden color. We also have 6-7 daylilies that are smaller plants that work well in cemeteries next to monuments. Carefree Peach is one of them. If you are contemplating that kind of a planting, ask us for a discussion of how to be successful with it. At issue is the amount of seasonal heat absorbed by the monument. That heat is transmitted downward to the monument’s typical cement foundation and the mass of stone that holds heat…….which has the potential of warming the plant’s roots and taking any plant out of dormancy even if the outside air temperature is -20°. It’s important to understand this concept before planting in cemeteries or along foundations, stone walls, large stones. Daylilies can accept a great deal of temperature fluctuation but other perennials not so much.
