Summer is a wonderful time to collect new perennials for the garden landscape. One of my favorites and perhaps most popular is Hemerocallis or other wise known as the daylily. In my Ohio garden I have over a dozen different daylily varieties we enjoy each year. In this post I share my Hemerocallis fulva ‘kwanso’ which is a double orange daylily. Find video, images and a few fun facts below.
Double Orange ‘Kwanso’ In My Garden Video
A splash or red with double bloom totally sets this variety apart from the ditch lily. This is one of the first daylily varieties I brought to my home garden in the country over 15 years ago. In the video below you will see upclose the gorgeous and cheerful bright bloom color. The plant is a larger daylily as you can see in the content below. You are invited to scroll down on this page to see more about this hemerocallis and others I grow.

Thank you for visiting my website Sherry! I love hearing about others and their gardens. Please share more as time allows. I have a similar daylily in my fence row where I also plant dahlias. Behind the daylily is a dark purple hollyhock. There are photos of this combo on my blog website at: https://brenhaas.com/blacknight-hollyhock/
