With a large variety of modern daylilies and new products recent years, there are varieties with high decorative qualities, exquisite flower beauty and the highest winter hardiness, n o are rare plants in our gardens . It is almost impossible to find them at Russian exhibitions, in the vast collections of lovers of this culture, and they difficult to obtain.

I was lucky enough to become the owner of such exclusive daylilies, to grow and observe them in my garden!

Today we'll look at twenty, top 20 "Rarity and Exclusive"!

1. Planetary Purple (Reed, 2013)- just over 1 m high with a flower 18 cm in diameter. UFO flower is cascading in shape, grape-purple in color with a lilac-blue watermark and a white zone around the green throat. Dormant and unpretentious variety with narrow foliage. This daylily creates a delicate airy image with a very elegant flower of an unusual color; such “shape-color” combinations do not occur anymore! Looks great in the foreground of a flower garden, in combination with small-branched phloxes and delicate light inflorescences of molinias.

2. Gryphon Hankow Legacy (Stelter, 2012)- the hybridizer indicated a height of peduncles of 91 cm, but this daylily shows a height of approximately 1.1 m. The peduncles have very good branching and the bush shows bouquet flowering. The cascading UFO flower is light orange in color with a bright orange-red chevron. The dark olive throat perfectly complements the exquisite color of the flower! A variety with a medium flowering period, dormant with a good growth rate.

3. Orchid Spangles (Mahieu-Burris, 2007)- a fairly tall daylily reaching 1.25 m. The UFO flower is large (20 cm) with a very beautiful shape. The petals are creamy lemon with a lilac halo coating and a cream border. The kiwi-hued neck appears neon. Peduncles have up to 6 branches and bear many buds! The flowers bloom very well, do not interfere with each other, they are not afraid of cool nights, the flowering is always abundant and of high quality. The subtle aroma is another plus of the variety! Dormant, medium flowering period. Thanks to its watercolor color with a delicate shine, it goes well with daylilies of any shade!

4. Flaming Flamingo (Laprise, 2007)- semi-evergreen tetraploid with a height of 1.1 m and a flower with a diameter of 18 cm. A UFO-shaped flower with curled petals. The color shade is simply incredible - fiery brilliant orange-red! The brilliant red eye on the wide satin petals looks like flame! Abundant with long flowering due to the abundance of buds on strong peduncles. I recommend it to all lovers of pure, bright and noble flowers!

5. Frog Not Included (Clement, 2013)- one of Brad Clement's new products has proven itself in the garden! Height up to 1.2 m, the highest growth rate of the bush, powerful healthy foliage. An 18 cm flower with matte lilac wavy petals of a delicate pearlescent hue with darker wreaths and a very large, spectacular green and cream applique! Early flowering, one of the first to bloom, and thanks to the huge number of flower stalks, the flowering is enchanting and long-lasting. An exquisite masterpiece of recent years for lovers of sophisticated colors and shades! It combines wonderfully with light-colored perennials, an indispensable component of white flower beds!

6. Barnegat Light (Murphy-J.P. 2004)- I respect and appreciate all the creations of Jim Murphy immensely, his varieties are worthy of the highest ratings! This daylily is no exception - tall (1.2 - 1.4 m) and stately with a large cascading flower, blooming in mid- late dates. The variety is distinguished by a contrasting combination of colors (orange petals with a large red eye) and at the same time very harmonious. I think that's exactly what it is landscape daylily and all its advantages are revealed in garden compositions. Dormant, hardy, unpretentious with friendly abundant flowering, optimistic and joyful. I like how it looks with graceful burnets (varieties Tanna and Morning Select) and even pink physostegia (which spontaneously grew next to it does not spoil the picture. Because the variety, thanks to its pattern, is very flexible in combinations.

7. Say Yes (Murphy-J.P. 2014)- a recent novelty that has managed to firmly occupy one of the first places in my collection! Tall peduncles, over 1.2 m, bear large cascading flowers. Their shade is unusual - cold pink-lilac, two-tone with a lavender border and a large light lemon throat. Dormant, mid-late flowering. A noble variety, one that every happy owner can definitely be proud of!

8. Supreme Tangerine (Mock, 2009)- “The Greatest Mandarin” is truly great! :-) Quite large flowers of this tetraploid have very thick waxy petals of a lovely yellow-orange dense color. This caramel shade looks very attractive! Due to its height of about 1 m, the variety can be widely used in flower arrangements. Aromatic and dormant, medium age. Despite my large collection of orange-hued varieties, this variety is different in tone and there is nothing like it!

9. Chesapeake Light (Murphy-J.P. 2010)- large-flowered daylily of original colors! Reddish lavender with a lavender eye and a thin wavy cream border. The shade changes depending on the lighting; in the sun, the flower looks brighter with a predominance of mahogany shade; in cloudy weather and in the evening, cooler lilac-blue tones appear. Tall (up to 1.4 m), medium-late, dormant with good branching of peduncles and abundant flowering. In my opinion, this variety is ideal for landscape compositions and when an expressive “big-eyed” flower in a “predatory” style is required :-)

10.Tangerine Ibis (Mahieu, 2003)- "Tangerine Ibis" has tall and very powerful flower stalks! Glowing melon-orange flowers with a cadmium throat gracefully float in the air! Unusual shade narrow-petaled flowers attract attention. The variety is also reliable in any weather, cold damp nights are not at all scary for it and in the morning you will be able to observe beautifully opened high-quality flowers without a single spot of unpainting! Dormant diploid of medium flowering period. The strong bush grows quickly and becomes a wonderful diamond in the most discerning collection!

11. Two Cats Dancing (Clement, 2007)- if you choose one of the darkest daylilies and at the same time blooms as usual, then this variety is definitely the favorite! A real find for lovers of dramatic effects in composition. An abundance of flower buds on well-branched peduncles! Plant height is 1 m, large flower of even pure color with a diameter of up to 20 cm. Dormant, mid-late, excellent design for the foreground of a flower garden. An original creation by Brad Clement, a stylish variety with its own face!

12. Starfish Prime (Murphy-J.P. 2013)- one of the new products of recent years with a powerful bush, high peduncles (over 1.4 m) and a large flower in the form of a cascading UVB. Very beautiful white and cream petals with wavy edges and a huge red and purple hoop! Dormant, mid-late with an abundance of buds. It is not at all afraid of cold nights during the opening of the buds, it is very stable and reliable. A prominent variety, a good accent, a godsend for shrubs and coniferous compositions! I recommend it as an excellent partner for white and purple phloxes!

13. All My Kittens (Clement, 2012)- the rarest variety in pink color scheme! An amazing luminous shade of pink tone with finer, finer veins on the petals and a bright orange neck - an extraordinary combination! Graceful cascading flower shape - UFO, mid-early flowering period, dormant with an excellent growth rate, height of about 1.2 m. Lovers of original color combinations and exquisite beauty definitely cannot pass by this variety! :-)

14.Scandinavia (Mahieu, 2003)- a true Scandinavian esthete variety! An openwork almost white flower of a very large size with a high-quality curled UFO shape!

Pray for Rain (Clement, 2008)- this chic beauty is for lovers of real gold! :-) I have never seen such a rich golden-yellow hue in any variety other than this exclusive from the respected Brad Clement! Large cascading UFO flower with magnificent cascading narrow petals on high peduncles (up to 1.3 m)! Truly huge golden butterflies hover in the air above the bush, amazing landscape variety for lovers of everything unconventional, not like everyone else! The variety is dormant, stable in any weather, you will never see any unopened, ugly flowers or spotted uncolored flowers on it!

16. Counterwise Wine (Michaels, 2013)- I boldly say that this is one of the most beautiful spiders of our time! A magnificent flower in the shade of Burgundy wine, rich and velvety! Late flowering period (we always bloom amazingly in August and are never capricious! At a height of 1.1 m, it looks great in the foreground, but the surroundings of this exclusive beauty must correspond to its stylish status! :-) A noble spider for connoisseurs of elegance and refined rigor!

17. Origin Stories (Reed, 2005)- Margot Reed is famous for her varieties that are resistant to our climate and for her focus on breeding quality daylilies. This variety is no exception - it is tall (up to 1.5 m), thanks to which it looks great in flower beds in the middle ground, proudly raising its flying lace flowers! And these flowers are worthy of special attention due to their watercolor light lilac-pink hue, it seems that spring twilight has descended on the earth! A very abundant and grateful daylily, a true decoration of my collection!

18. Banana Smoothie (George-T. 2006) - and this exclusive beauty is for lovers of everything gigantic! Imagine - peduncles up to 1.6 m high with branching up to 6 branches, lifting huge 25 cm UFO flowers with curled intricately twisted very dense petals of a yellow-banana tone above a powerful bush! The hybridizer will definitely go down in the history of world breeding thanks to this wonderful creation! Blooms in mid-early periods. A daylily about which we can safely say - purebred! One of the pearls of my collection!

The best choice for our climate due to its excellent growth qualities, purest flowers and special nobility! Bob Marley combines all the best qualities of a UFO curl in its flower! Wide, dense petals are fiery orange-terracotta in color with diamond coating shining like diamonds in the sun's rays! A bush 1 m high with an abundance of peduncles, and most importantly buds, bouquet flowering is unusually long! I love the combination of this daylily with purple-leaved bladderworts, aerial burnets, goldenrods and the popular lilac small-flowered phlox.

20. Miss Goldie Gold Digger (Davisson-J. 2011)- and what would a collection of rarities be without the wonderful Gold Digger! :-) The huge powerful flowers of this UV tetraploid with dense curled petals in the shade of gold bars make an indelible impression! Dormant with wide foliage with a bluish tint, 1.1 m tall, blooming later than most varieties, it covers the kaleidoscope of daylilies in bloom in my garden. Heleniums of all colors are excellent partners for this incomparable giant!

Be sure to plant these varieties in your garden and I promise - you will receive only wonderful impressions and emotions! These masterpieces of the floral world will never let you down, never disappoint, and most importantly, thanks to such rarities, your garden will become even more beautiful and exclusive!

Today the daylilies came out new round of its development. To date, more than 70 thousand varieties have been registered, and new ones appear every year. New fancy shapes, new types of coloring, new fantasy designs on the petals, as if created by the brush of a talented artist. No other crop has such a variety of shapes, colors, flower sizes, and bush heights. How to understand all this diversity in order to make the right choice? The official classification of daylilies will help us with this.

The official world registrar of varieties is the American Hemerocallis Society (AHS), founded in 1946. This Society has developed a classification of daylily, which reflects all its capabilities as an ornamental garden plant.

Genetic ploidy

This characteristic tells us about the number of chromosomes in a daylily. Diploids (DIP) have 22 of them, tetraploids (TET) have 44. At first, all daylilies were diploids, but in the middle of the last century a way was found to convert diploid daylilies into tetraploid ones. Parts of the daylily were treated with colchicine, which blocks cell division (isolated from autumn crocus - Colchicum autumnale L.) and as a result of this conversion, daylilies with 44 chromosomes (tetraploids) were obtained. The first tetraploids were obtained in the early 50s of the twentieth century. It was then that a breakthrough occurred in the selection of daylilies. Due to the increase in the number of chromosomes, they opened limitless possibilities for breeding new varieties.

If some diploid variety has great potential for breeding work, then it is transferred to the tetraploid version. Conversion of daylilies is a complex and lengthy process, and therefore very expensive. A tetraploid version of the same variety will cost significantly more than its diploid version. Also, the high price for tetraploid versions is often due to increased demand among hybridizers who actively use this variety in their breeding work. For example, in 2014 the TET version Rose varieties F. Kennedy (Dorakian/Stamile) cost $2500, and the DIP version of the same variety cost only $50. Tetraploid Time Stopper (Gossard/Stamile) costs $300, and diploid costs $65.

Sometimes nurseries sell both versions (TET and DIP) of the same variety. You most likely will not notice any special external differences between different versions of the same variety. Therefore, there is no point in overpaying.

Now let's figure out what is the fundamental difference between tetraploids and diploids.

TET flowers are much larger. They have a more intense color. The texture of the petals is denser. The plants themselves are more powerful. The peduncles are stronger and do not collapse under the weight of the flowers, which is important for huge spiders. However, DIPs also have a number of advantages. They have more refined flower shapes, and they set seeds much easier.

In fact, it is not so important for a daylily lover to know which daylily, DIP or TET, grows in his garden. However, this is very important information for those who want to try themselves as a hybridizer. Only varieties with the same set of chromosomes (same ploidy) can be crossed with each other, i.e. TET pollinates only TET, and DIP only pollinates DIP. Now, knowing all these subtleties, you can easily make the right choice.

Types of vegetation

There are three main types of daylily vegetation:

• sleeping (dormant)- in the fall, the leaves of such daylilies wither and die. In winter, the plant sleeps until spring. In spring, when the temperature rises, daylily begins to grow.
• evergreen- in warm regions remain green throughout the year. In cold winter conditions, the tops of the leaves freeze. During the thaw period they wake up and can begin to grow. In the absence of snow, subsequent frosts can destroy the awakened buds. But it's not all that scary. Usually in the spring, new, replacement buds appear on the root collar, and the daylily successfully grows and even blooms. True, there are also unpleasant situations when the root collar completely rots. Fortunately, this happens quite rarely.
• semi-evergreen- daylilies of this group occupy an intermediate position. They adapt well to the climate. In cold climates, the foliage partially dies off during the winter, leaving the tips of the leaves, but growth does not slow down completely. In warm climates, these daylilies will behave like evergreens.

To obtain a more complete picture of the behavior of daylilies in a given climate, American scientists identified three more intermediate types, which are not included in the official classification:

• Sleeping soundly (Hard Dormant)- lose foliage very early, after the first frost. In winter they sleep soundly. They begin to grow back very late. These varieties definitely need a period of rest. Otherwise, they will not be able to prepare for the flowering season - they weaken and stop blooming.
• semi-dormant- fall asleep very late at the beginning of winter, after a long period of cold weather. In winter they sleep. In spring, their foliage begins to grow very early.
• soft evergreens or soft evergreens (Soft Evergreens) - V In our climate, the leaves freeze completely below the soil level. All growth buds freeze. New replacement kidneys do not wake up. The daylily is dying.

It is sometimes difficult for a novice gardener to understand all these subtleties. In addition, the type of vegetation is not a reliable indicator of daylily frost resistance. In this situation, it is better to rely on the experience of domestic collectors who adapt new varieties of daylilies in their gardens and will always give truthful information about how this or that variety winters in the conditions of the Moscow region.

Flowering time, remnant

• EE - very early (early June)
• E - early (mid-June)
• EM - mid-early (late June - mid-July)
• M - medium (mid-July - early August - peak flowering)
• ML - mid-late (mid-August)
• L - late (end of August)
• VL are very late bloomers that bloom in mid-September. In the conditions of the Moscow region, with the onset of early cold autumn, these varieties do not have time to bloom.

Almost all modern tetraploids are remontant. This means that the hybrid is genetically predisposed to re-bloom under favorable conditions. This is one of the important characteristics of the variety. After the main flowering and a short period of rest (usually 2-3 weeks) The daylily again throws out a flower arrow. However, you can count on repeated flowering in the conditions of the Moscow region only if early spring, hot summer and very warm autumn. Repeated flowering is also influenced by factors such as planting location (sun, shade), soil nutrition, amount of precipitation, amount of sunlight, seed setting, etc. There are very few varieties that consistently produce repeat flowering in the Moscow region. However, there are varieties with such characteristics as "Instant rebloom" (instant re-blooming). This means that new flower stalks grow immediately, following the first ones, nonstop. Sometimes 2-3 peduncles grow from one fan. Such varieties are likely to have time to re-bloom in the Moscow region. The photo shows an example of instant re-blooming.

Flowering type

As you know, a daylily flower lives only one day, but the opening of the flower can occur at different times of the day. Therefore, three types of flowering were distinguished:

• day type of flowering (Diurnal)- the flower opens in the morning and fades by the evening of the same day.
• night type of flowering (Nocturnal)- the flower opens in the afternoon or evening, remains open all night, and fades the next morning or afternoon.
• long-flowering (Extendedflowering) - extended type of flowering, when the flower remains open for at least 16 hours, regardless of the time of day. At the same time, such flowers can open both during the day and at night. Today there are few such varieties. Breeders are working in this direction, working mainly with night-opening varieties. They try to ensure that the flower remains open throughout the next day.

Daylily breeders, when describing varieties whose flowers are fully open early in the morning, use the term Early Morning Opener (EMO). This is a very valuable quality of the variety. Such varieties, even with heavily corrugated petals, open well after cool nights. Nocturnal night daylilies should not be confused with EMO varieties. Night varieties open the night before and stay open all night.

Smell

Many flowers have a scent. And here the daylilies did not let us down. The flowers of some of them are odorless. Many have a slight odor. But there are also those that can fill the garden with a charming aroma.

All varieties of daylilies are divided into:

• aromatic (Fragrant)
• very fragrant (Very Fragrant)
• odorless.

Flower size

Daylily cultivars have a wide range of flower sizes. Three groups are identified:

• miniature- flower diameter is less than 3 inches in diameter (up to 7.5 cm). The height of the peduncles can be different - low, medium or high. The Donn Fischer Memorial Award (DFM) is awarded annually.
• small-flowered (Small)- flower diameter from 3 inches to 4.5 inches (7.5 to 11.5 cm). The height of the peduncles can also vary. The Annie T. Giles Award (ATG) is awarded annually.
• large-flowered (Large)- flower diameter from 4.5 inches (from 11.5 cm).
• Another group of daylilies has been allocated for judging at AHS shows Extra Large- for varieties registered with a flower size of 7 inches or more (17.8 cm), but which are not registered in the spiders and UFo categories. Since 2005, the “Extra Large Diameter Award (ELDA)” has been awarded in this category.

Peduncle height, peduncle branching

Flower growers love daylilies not only for their unpretentiousness. Another undeniable advantage when using daylilies in garden design is the different height of the flower stalks. Here you can find real dwarfs for a rock garden or alpine slide, as well as majestic giants for the background of a flower garden. Daylilies are divided into four groups according to the height of their peduncles:

• dwarfs (Dware)- height of peduncles up to 12 inches (30 cm)
• low- peduncle height from 12 to 24 inches (30-60 cm)
• medium-sized (Medium)- peduncle height from 24 to 36 inches (60-90 cm)
• high (Tall)- peduncle height 36 inches (90 cm) and above.

Currently, just over 40 varieties are registered with a height of 68 inches (173 cm). Among them are varieties with a height of more than 74 inches (188 cm). These varieties of daylilies look great in solitary plantings on the lawn.

The relationship between the height of the peduncle and the size of the flower can be very different. There may be large flowers on a low peduncle, and small flowers on a high one.

When registering daylily varieties, the branching of peduncles must be indicated - the number of lateral branches, each of which contains a group of buds. Also at the top of the peduncle there may be a branching in the form of the Latin letter V. The higher the branching of the peduncles, the better.

On well-branched peduncles, several flowers can open simultaneously, and they will not interfere with each other. In such daylilies, the total number of buds on one peduncle can reach 30-50, so flowering will be abundant and long. For example, the variety Heavenly Angel Ice (Gossard, 2004) has 5-position branching of peduncles and up to 30 buds on each. By the way, in 2013 this variety received the highest award in the “world of daylilies” - the Stout Silver Medal.

Flower color

All kinds of shades and color combinations make daylily very attractive for our climate, where there is such a lack of bright colors. Today there are no daylilies of only pure white and pure blue colors, although American breeders are quite successfully moving in this direction. Almost white varieties are becoming whiter every year, and there are already plenty of varieties with blue and blue eyes. They appear especially clearly in cool and cloudy weather.

Primary colors of daylilies:

• yellow- all shades from pale lemon, through bright yellow and gold to orange.
• red (Red) - various shades of scarlet, carmine, tomato red, dark burgundy, wine red and black-red.
• pink (Pink) - from pale pink through deep pink to rose-red.
• violet (Purple) - from pale lavender and lilac to dark grape or purple.
• melon or creamy pink (MelonorCream- Pinkdotfrom) - from pale cream shades to dark melon. Browns, apricots and peach colors are considered variations of pink plus yellow. White daylilies can come in shades of yellow, pink, lavender or melon.

The color of a daylily flower can be:

• single color / plain (Self)- petals and sepals are the same color, but the stamens and throat may be a different color.
• multicolor / polychrome (Polychrome)- a mixture of three or more colors, for example, yellow, melon, pink and lavender, without a clear rim above the throat. The stamens and throat may be a different color.
• two-color (Bicolor)- internal and external petals different color(dark top, light bottom). And reverse bicolor.
• two-ton (Bitone)- outer and inner petals of different shades of the same base color (top - darker shade, bottom - lighter). And Reverse Bitone.

The petals of many modern hybrids shine and sparkle in the sun. This effect is called "sputtering". Distinguish diamond dusting (Diamond Dusting), gold dusting (Gold Dusting), and silver dusting (Silver Dusting).

Flower shape

In terms of diversity of flower shapes, daylilies are unlikely to have equals among other ornamental crops in our climate zone. Based on the structure of the daylily flower, for the purposes of registration and exhibitions, the following groups are officially distinguished: simple (Single), double (DOUBLE), arachnid (SPIDER), unusually shaped (UFo), polymers (POLYMEROUS) and multiform (MULTIFORM).

1 group -Simple single flower (Single).

It has three petals, three sepals, six stamens and one pistil. In recent years, due to abnormally hot weather, some daylilies are producing small number of flowers with more petals than usual. But this is just a manifestation of the tendency for typical daylilies to have many petals.

Form simple flower May be:

• round (Circular). When looking at the flower from the front, it appears round. The segments are short, wide and usually overlap, giving the appearance of a circle.
• flat When viewed in profile, the flowers appear completely flat, like a saucer, except for the concave throat.
• informal (Informal). The flower segments do not have a specific shape. The arrangement of segments may be irregular, with segments widely spaced or hanging loosely.
• Recurved. The flower segments are directed forward, and the tips are curved back or tucked.
• star-shaped/star-shaped (Star). The flower segments are long and straight. There is space between the segments and the shape of the flower is like a star.
• triangular. The flower segments form a triangle. The petals are directed forward, the tips of the sepals are curved back. The inner segments of the flower form a triangle.
• tubular / ruper / lily (Trumpet). When viewed in profile, the flower's shape resembles that of a tubular lily. The segments rise upward from the throat with a slight curve.

Group 2 - Terry flower (Double).

Doubleness is a significant increase in the number of petals in a flower. Most often this occurs due to the degeneration of stamens into petals.

There are two types of terry:

• Peony Type Double - when the stamens degenerate into additional petals (petaloids).
• flower V flower (Hose-in-hose double) . Typically, a daylily flower consists of two levels of petals. This type doubleness suggests that the flower consists of more than two levels of petals.

Among the terry varieties there are miniature, small-flowered and large-flowered varieties.

When registering, the hybridizer indicates the percentage of terry. If a variety is registered as 80% double, it means that 8 out of 10 flowers will be double. However, in our climate, for some varieties the declared percentage of terry can vary significantly. This is influenced by cool weather, the age of the bush and other factors. Within this group, the Ida Munson Award (IM) is awarded annually.

Group 3 Unusual Form - UFO).

This group includes daylilies with an unusual and exotic flower shape. To be classified in this class, it is enough for a variety to have three petals of an unusual shape. The Lambert/Webster Award (LWA) is awarded annually. When registering varieties of unusual shape, the type of flower must be indicated. Based on the shape of the petals and sepals, three types of flowers are distinguished:

1 type - C rispate (curly, kinky, curled, crispy) - a fairly large group in terms of assortment. It is divided into three subtypes (when registering a variety, the subtype is not always indicated):

• pinched crispate - pinched / squeezed / squeezed. The petals are pinched at the tips. Variety: Coit Tower (P.Stamile - G. Pierce, 2010)

• twisted crispate - twisted . ALL petals are twisted along their length like a spiral, corkscrew, skewer. The largest subgroup. Variety Apache Beacon (N. Roberts, 2005)
• quilled crispate - tubular/rolled. As a rule, the outer petals are rolled along their entire length into a tube. Quite a rare form. Variety Dooty Owl (Roberts, 2006)

Type 2 - C ascade (cascade, twisted) - narrow cascading petals have a pronounced twist, reminiscent of wood shavings. Most varieties of this group are characterized by large and sometimes simply gigantic flowers, tall peduncles and bright tropical colors. Variety: Purple Tarantula (Gossard, 2011)

Type 3 - S patulate (spatulate/spatulate/spatula) - narrow internal petals widen significantly at the ends. The tip of the petals is wide and rounded, resembling a spatula. This group is small. Variety: Ruby Spider (Stamile, 1991).

Quite often there are varieties of daylilies that combine various combinations of petal and sepal shapes - UFo Crispate-Cascade-Spatulate. Variety Heavenly Curls (Gossard, 2000)

4 group- Spider.

This group of daylilies includes varieties with narrow, long petals that do not overlap each other when emerging from the neck. The ratio of the length of the petal to its width should be 4:1 or higher. Until 2003 there was a division into Spider Variant with a ratio of petal length to its width from 4:1 to 4.99:1 and actually spiders with a ratio of 5:1 and higher. They are called "classic spider". Currently, all narrow-petalled cultivars with a petal length-to-width ratio of 4:1 or more form a single group, Spiders. To measure, select the longest of the blossomed petals and straighten it in length and width. The narrower the width of the petal, the higher the spider is rated. The Harris Olson Spider Award (HOSA) is awarded annually.

Quite often the name of varieties contains the word spider, but this does not mean that this variety belongs to the spider group. For example, the popular variety "Ruby Spider" belongs to the UFo group.

5 group- Polymers/Polymerous

Multi-petalled varieties (not to be confused with terry ones). In 1995, when this group was introduced into the AHS classification, it was called "polytepals". This term was then recognized as botanically incorrect, and in 2008 this group of daylilies became known as Polymerous.

A typical daylily flower has three sepals, three petals, six stamens and one pistil with three chambers. A polymer such as 4x4 will have 4 sepals, 4 petals, 8 stamens and 1 pistil with four chambers.

It is believed that if a variety exhibits these characteristics in at least 50% of flowering, then such a daylily is a true polymer. When registering polymers, the hybridizer indicates the percentage of multilobes. It may vary depending on climatic conditions.

The difference between polymers and terry varieties:

• in polymers, additional petals and additional sepals are evenly distributed in the corresponding layer. In double varieties, additional petals are formed due to the degeneration of the stamens, or additional petals are located between the normal petals.
• polymers always have additional stamens, and their number corresponds to the total number of petals and sepals. In addition, the number of chambers in the pestle increases proportionally.

The multi-petal gene is extremely dominant.

6 group- Multiforms.

Undoubtedly, this group is the most exotic and exclusive. More recently, classifiers had to add a new group for varieties that do not fit into any of the previous groups, since they combine the characteristics of two or more common groups at once. For example:

• terry spiders,
• terry unusual shape (UFo),
• polymer spider,
• polymer UFo,
• UFo or spiders, both terry and polymer.

There is no judging for this group at exhibitions.

The group is small. Over the past 15 years, only 87 varieties of terry unusual shapes (UFo) and 5 terry spiders have been registered. Another 100% terry spider Ashee Dashee was registered by Diana Taylor in 2006 in the group of terry varieties.

A pioneer on this path was Jan Joiner. Having crossed her seedlings, in 1999 she registered the Fluttering Beauty variety, which is both 98% double and UFo Crispate. Until now, this variety is the No. 1 parent for producing terry UFo.

When registering multiforms, the hybridizer indicates the percentage of terry and multi-petalled.

In the photograph of the James Gossard variety from the last years of introduction:

• Dr Doom(2013) terry spider UFo cascade
• PowerpuffGirls(2013) terry UFo cascade
• DrOctopus(2014) - terry spider UFo cascade

I hope that now it will be easier for you to navigate such a diverse world of daylilies.

Daylily is an ideal perennial ornamental plant that attracts flower growers around the world with the beauty of the flower, unpretentiousness and variety of varieties.

Groups of varieties and classification existing today

A winter-hardy plant that blooms almost all summer, it has gained popularity and is among the leaders in both beauty and variety of varieties. Today, more than 70 thousand varieties of hybrid daylily are registered, and every year the species is replenished with new products. Breeders from America and Australia have managed to develop many varieties of this amazingly beautiful and unpretentious plant. proper care flower.

Each variety is widely used to form landscape design of any style. Depending on the type, modern daylilies are used to decorate rockeries and alpine slides. Low-growing varieties of daylilies are suitable as hedges. Varieties with an unusual aroma have also been bred.

Daylily flowers, varied in shape and shades, will not find equal among many ornamental crops. Officially, they are usually distinguished by the shape of the flower. It is on this basis that they are divided into the following groups:

• simple (SINGLE);
• terry (DOUBLE);
• arachnids (SPIDERS);
• unusual shape (UFO);
• polymers (POLYMEROUS);
• multiforms (MULTIFORM).

The American Daylily Society, the world's official registrar of varieties, has developed a classification of daylilies that reflects all the properties and capabilities of the flower. It is she who will help a novice gardener make the right choice and understand the variety of varieties. Today the classification includes the following criteria:

1. Genetic ploidy, characterizes the daylily by the number of chromosomes, of which diploids (DIP) have 22, and tetraploids (TET) have 44. The latter have a larger flower, with a variety of shades, as well as a developed vegetative system and increasing selection possibilities. At the same time, diploids boast delicate, exquisitely shaped flowers and high degree reproduction due to a large number of seeds. The same plant variety can be diploid or tetraploid, but the latter will cost more due to the time and financial costs of converting daylilies.
2. Types of vegetation, which are divided into evergreen, semi-evergreen and dormant. For regions with cold winters, semi-evergreen or dormant varieties are suitable, able to adapt to variable temperatures and come to life in the spring.
3. Flowering time. Each subspecies has its own flowering period, starting in mid-June and continuing until the end of August. Most modern hybrid varieties are remontant, that is, they have the ability to bloom several times throughout the season.

It is important to know, that in accordance with the international system it is customary to designate flowering dates with the following abbreviation:

• early (E);
• mid-early (EM);
• medium (M);
• mid-late (ML);
• late (L);
• very late (VL).

1. Flowering type:

• nocturnal (Nocturnal) - bloom mainly in the afternoon and remain open all night;
• daily (Diurnal ) – bloom in the morning and bloom until the evening, one-day-old;
• long-flowering (Extended flowering) - after opening, the flower pleases the eye for 15-16 hours, regardless of the time of day.

1. Aroma. Any flowering plant has a scent and daylily is no exception. And yet there are varieties that have absolutely no aroma or those in which it is weakly expressed, but the gardener’s dream are those that, in addition to beauty, charm and captivate with aroma.
2. Flower size, depending on which daylily varieties are divided into three groups:

• miniature (Miniature), where the diameter of the flower does not exceed 7.5 centimeters;
• small-flowered (Small), with a flower diameter from 7.5 to 11.5 cm centimeters;
• large-flowered (Large) - a flower with a diameter of 11.5 centimeters.

1. The height and branching of the peduncle, where dwarfs and giants cannot be avoided. Depending on their height, daylilies are divided into four types:

• low - not reaching 30 cm;
• medium-sized - with a height of 30 to 60 cm;
• semi-high - where the peduncle has a height of 60 to 90 cm;
• very tall - from 90 cm and above.

Of no small importance for the beauty of the bush is the branching of the peduncle, in which the total number of buds can reach 40. With the simultaneous opening of several flowers, the bush will delight with abundant and long-lasting flowering.

1. The coloring of the daylily brings bright colors to the flower garden, especially in cloudy weather, where they appear most clearly. All kinds of colors, shades and coatings do not leave lovers of this type of plant indifferent and inspire breeders to develop new varieties.

The most popular and popular groups

Let's return to the groups of daylilies and, having identified the most popular ones, study their advantages and look at the photos, we will help you choose the best varieties for the season. The most popular and numerous are groups with simple and double flowers.

A simple flower consists of three petals, three sepals, six stamens and one pistil.

This group is usually distinguished by the shape of the flower:

• round;
• flat;
• informal;
• back-curved;
• star-shaped (star-shaped);
• triangular;
• tubular (ruper, lily).

Group of double flowers characterized by an increased number of petals, divided into two types:

• peony, in which the stamens have degenerated into petals;
• flower in flower, with several levels of petals.

And here spander daylilies, with a spider-like flower shape, have proven themselves in not very warm climates. They bring color to everyday life, delighting with long-lasting flowering even in rainy weather. Flowers of enormous size, unusual in shape and brightness, create unique bright spots in the flower garden or in the garden.

A group of plants with an unusual flower shape is not far behind in popularity. This is truly exotic, because the petals can be twisted, twisted, cascading or spatulate.

It is worth mentioning the less popular, but still attractive polymer group daylilies. In plants of this species, the flower structure is distinguished by an increased number of petals and sepals, up to four.

A group of daylilies that combine two or more officially recognized forms in one flower are usually called Multiform.

From the collection of Larisa Kudelina

The video below shows part of this collection, which is notable for being one of the largest in Russia - more than 400 varieties.

I have never loved lilies, although as a novice gardener I tried to plant all the flowers I knew, including lilies, on my plot.

The first lilies white They lived on my property for 2 years, but there were a lot of problems with them: either the mice would gnaw on the bulbs, or the mole cricket would take over the flowerbed, or there would be spider mites.

At the same time, the orange wild lily, which grew on its own far from the flowerbed (it was left over from the previous owners of the estate), did not have any problems. It turned out that it was not a lily, but a daylily, popularly called the “red lily.”

Captivated by its unpretentiousness, I began to look for possible cultivated varieties of the flower. There were several tens of thousands of them, including hybrids, and they were all fabulously beautiful. Of course, daylilies are now growing on my site.

This is the Stella de Oro daylily, otherwise it is simply called yellow, the most unpretentious, blooms all summer and has a wonderful aroma.

The article will describe the most interesting and unusual varieties flowers and their characteristics are given.

Lilies and daylilies are different representatives of the same class. It is very important not to confuse these 2 plants. It is quite easy to distinguish them:

Daylilies are otherwise called “red daylilies”, since their flowers “live” only one day. They can open their buds early in the morning or in the evening, so they are divided into daytime and nighttime.

Flower shapes can be very diverse:

• Round;
• Curved;
• Lace;
• Terry;
• Flat;
• Triangular;
• Star-shaped;
• Tubular.

Daylilies can be simple, double and spider (spider-shaped flower).

The color of the petals also has many variations: from simple single-color to multi-colored with borders and stripes, with spots, dusting and tints.

Daylilies are classified according to the color of their petals into the following groups:

• White or close to it;
• Yellow;
• Orange;
• Pink;
• Red;
• Lilac;
• Purple, close to black.

The flower is unpretentious, tolerates sun and partial shade, dry periods and rain, tolerates poor soils and is practically not affected by pests, can grow in one place for a long time without replanting; experts do not even recommend fertilizing it. For these qualities he is called an “intelligent lazy person.”

Daylily has been known since ancient times; in China it was considered a flower for melancholy and sadness, and in many countries it was used in culinary dishes. In addition, decoctions based on daylily were used as a medicine for heart diseases. It is still used today for these purposes.
