A few years ago my friend and I were saddened to learn that one of our favorite daylily farms was going out of business. When we visited the farm for the last time, the owner was in an everything-must-go frame of mind, and we brought home quite a haul.
Because the clumps were so large we were able to cut them in half and make even more daylilies. Many of the cultivars my friend shared with me have become favorites.
I wasn’t sure if I would like ‘Margaret Seawright’. It’s a dormant yellow and orange bitone, and I was afraid it might be too “noisy.” I initially stuck it in the wild corner of my property, but when it bloomed for the first time, I realized ‘Margaret Seawright’ and I were going to get along just fine.
The plant grows 24 inches tall with 5-inch flowers that bloom for over a month each summer in my garden. ‘Margaret Seawright’ looks great with bright-yellow flowers like Coreopsis ‘Sunray’:
