‘Addie Branch Smith’ is a stunner! Orchid rose blooms with a dark purple eyezone and a pale green throat are held on short scapes over attractive mounds of superb dark blue green foliage. So lovely!
Beautiful blooms first year in an area that doesn’t get full sun all day-blooms are exactly as shown on this site-although in July not June. All Three of them are performing nicely.
The ‘Addie Branch Smith’ sisters toughed it out in the hottest garden patch. This 6-pack bloomed steadily from late May to late June (zone 8b). Although the blooms weren’t as vibrant as those pictured in the catalog (considering the blast furnace-like conditions), they were still very pretty to look at poised above their deep blue-green foliage.
This one is gorgeous, brighter and prettier than the photo. It’s a unique color between rose and mauve. I love the eyezone. It blends beautifully w/ my red and purple daylilies. I took off 1 point because it didn’t bloom or do much of anything the first year. Now it has 4 scapes full of flowers. It’s bigger than described: the flowers are easily 5″ and it’s 25″ tall, so mine doesn’t look like a miniature variety. Definitely a keeper, and great price too.
Added ‘Addie’ to our garden this spring and did not expect many blooms. However, she did produce several that were spectacular; much prettier than the picture. This is a favorite and one I show off to all visitors.

It’s pretty simple: most of you can grow any of the daylilies we sell. If you live in an area with a sustained cold period like we do in East Tennessee, you can grow all the varieties. However, If you live in an area that doesn’t get freezing weather in the winter, dormant varieties won’t work for you; you need to choose evergreen or semi-evergreen varieties.
We normally include bonus plants equal to about 20% of your order. And these aren’t “leftover” plants, or “whatever we’ve got lying around.” These are the same huge, healthy plants we sell. Just leave the decision up to us— we’ll pick something we know you’ll love!

It was a bonus plant. I asked for any evergreen. This dormant was sent. Got rust quick. Pulled this morning. Sad to see it go. Not for rusty areas.

Pretty daylily. It didn’t bloom for me though until the second summer and it still didn’t have that many buds. Maybe it will do better this year

Grows well here, and does bloom. But the color is not nearly as intense as the photo indicates, at least for us. The purple appears washed out.

I love them! They are a prolific bloomer and begin around the end of June. They are very pretty and the mound stays small and green all season long.
