buttrflybutterfly in California Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 I live in California, U.S.A., and just joined this forum.Twice I have visited France. The first time was to look up my "Roots" in the Loire Valley, and it seemed like there were beautiful flowers everywhere, especially hydrangeas.I am curious to know if daylilies are popular in France as they are here? I have over 400 labeled cultivars, and several unidentified. At the time of the first visit to France, I wasn't growing them!Thank you.Anita (Buttrfly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millymollymandy Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 They are around, more in the sense of having a clump of unknown name in the garden!The mail order catalogues usually have about 8 different varieties for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Yes they are quite popular and certainly one of my favourites. So trouble free, the sort of gardening I like! Mostly they are sold in supermarket plastic bags with no particular name just the colour but I have also bought them as named varieties from plant fairs and garden centres. I have one called, I think, California Sun. Mostly they have American names. One I particularly like is called Du Mortier (or something like that - not a hybrid I think) yellow and not very big with a lovely scent.For Hydrangeas you must make a trip to Brittany in late summer, they are the Breton flower 'par excellence'.Liz (29) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
