The Day Lily Cottage

DAYLILIES FOR THE GARDEN
With his usual thoroughness, author Graeme Grosvenor presents background information on daylily species, major factors influencing the type of daylily to grow, planting and cultivation tips, descriptions and careful explanation of classification and an extensive section listing major cultivars of both large and small flowered daylilies. To inspire his readers he presents plenty of suggestions for gardening and landscaping visions. And though daylilies are known for their ease of care, he includes details of control of the pests and diseases occasionally affecting them. The color photographs are a visual feast and Graeme does not stint on relaying his photographic tips. For his photography alone, this book is one to treasure.
