tones, blended tones, or solid colors from the soft yellow of Patricia to the 
wine-red of Port. 
The habits and character of Daylilies make them one of the most useful of all 
perennials. The plants are bushy to the ground with graceful foliage that blends 
well with other leaves, and without cultivation or attention faithfully produce 
handsome flowers each year.

with a plant.

with flowers like Gaillardia, Heliopsis, or 
Veronica; with foliage of Cranberry, Red- 
leaf Maple, Oregon Hollygrape.

Kaempferi, Phlox, and similar flowers.
