That is a great looking little plant & the color would work well in lots of combinations, especially with either that Yarrow or the 'Hocus Pocus' Geranium. <blockquote><em>Mr. McGregor's Daughter, I'm going to get more even if I have to leave something else behind next time I go to the nursery.

Mr. McGregor’s Daughter,
I’m going to get more even if I have to leave something else behind next time I go to the nursery. It’s done far better than expected and I’m tickled ‘yellow’ with it.

I always thought those daylilies were a wildflower. I call them ditch lilies. The ones in my garden have just started to bloom in the last couple of days and are over 5' tall. What is the dark plant you have with them? I have a red husker penstemon planted near mine and I love the contrast. <blockquote><em>Apple, See what I mean - most people think those old common orange daylilies are wildflowers. Ditch Lilies is a good name :) since that's where they're most often found. That dark foliage is a Purpleleaf Sand cherry. (Prunus x cistena) I like the dark foliage against the light background of the house. It will take some time for them to grow and fill out to really contrast but they're on their way.</em></blockquote> Love the dark foliage of the geranium against the rocks.

Apple,
See what I mean – most people think those old common orange daylilies are wildflowers. Ditch Lilies is a good name :) since that’s where they’re most often found.
