Once we made Mooring Hitch our permanent residence (Spring 2004), many truck loads of soil were deliver to build raise beds. The bare soil scream to be cover with plants.

I received a brochure offering 48 varieties of Day-lilies for $125.00 and I took it.

Day-lilies require little care: fertilize once in spring, remove dry foliage at season’s end. Occasional aphids are taking care by ladybugs. One of the 48 varieties.

A year cycle in the life of ...... at Mooring Hitch When the 48 varieties collection was planted, it was a cold, rainy day. The list of details included: height, texture, flower color, evergreen to deciduous & blooming time. All I had to look out was the roots. I attempted to mix & match colors, imagine height etc... however, I believe my husband suggested method: “toss them into the air and wherever they land is their home” would have worked just as well. This plant has been in the same original spot from the very first day. I fertilize beds yearly with a layer of compost and/or slow release 10-10-10. Removing wilted blooms, seed pods and stems significantly improves the plant apperance during blooming season. Ocassionally some plants develop from the flower stems, I always leave some or cut above hill, just in case.
