One of my flowerbeds got a little wild over the last couple of years, and I lost track of a couple of daylilies that got buried under exuberant foliage from other perennials.
Last year I dug and divided a lot of plants, so that flowerbed once again looks like its being tended to and not left over at some abandoned farmhouse.
I was happy to see the purple-red blooms of daylily ‘Sable Song’ standing tall once again.
I’ve grown ‘Sable Song’ for almost 15 years now. It’s usually one of the first daylilies to bloom in my yard each summer.
‘Sable Song’ grows 26 inches tall with 5-inch, velvety flowers. This cultivar was registered in 1997, and one of its parent plants is the tough, eye-catching ‘Scarlet Orbit’—one of the heaviest-blooming daylilies of the 400 cultivars I grow each year.
