SynopsisA vast array of daylily hybrids has been developed from only a small group of species in Hemerocallis. Hundreds of new daylilies are introduced each year, and no other book describes and illustrates so many of the hybrids in one place. The parent species are also included, but the focus is on the amazing developments that have been achieved through hybridization. Close-up photographs show the detailed characteristics that hybridizers work for. Each photo is accompanied by a thorough description of the daylily's color, size, bloom season, and parentage. In addition to the pictorial encyclopedia, the book offers extensive information on cultivation and hybridization., How can a gardener keep up with the hundreds of new daylilies introduced each year? You need the only book that in one place describes and illustrates so many gorgeous hybrids.

Nice daylily book
Nice overview of daylilies - many beautiful pictures! Good history of hybrids but because of printing date (2000) it does not have new hybrids. Excellent explanation of planting, care and dividing plants.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
