PLANT DESCRIPTIONS & FACTS

Hemerocallis 'Ed Brown'

Overall Description

Ed Brown Daylily displays large amounts of very light pastel pink blooms that have a yellow ruffled outline, or edge. Also shows a bright yellow throat / center. Foliage is a nice green color, and grasslike in appearance. This variety is an excellent re-bloomer, meaning that it is known to produce several "waves" of blooms throughout the summer months, rather then just one heavy bloom period in early summer. Good numbers of blooms generally appear all throughout summer, and well into the early fall. Re-blooming can be further increased & encouraged through the removal of old, expired blooms & stalks ( scapes ).
Foliage is semi-evergreen in warmer climates, but will look rather rough during the winter months.........and will go completely dormant in colder climates. We actually suggest trimming, or "mowing" the foliage back to a height of about 3 or 4 inches at the end of the fall season. This way, the foliage can have a fresh, new start when spring rolls around, and will look its absolute best all season long.
Ed Brown is actually one of the harder daylily varieties to find. Makes a great border choice, and also works very well in mass plantings. Nice, soft colors all summer long.

Fertilization / Feeding: For maximum health & hardiness, we highly recommend POOPeas for use with all of our daylily varieties. However, either water soluble ( Miracle Gro, or equivalent ), or granular fertilizers ( Holly Tone is excellent ) are also good options. Most any granular fertilizers with a 6-12-12, or 10-10-10 ratio are also acceptable. Best to fertilize in early spring, and again in mid fall - avoid feeding standard chemical fertilizers during hot summer months, and directly after transplanting. POOPeas may be used at anytime.
