I was going to say, it sure looks exactly like the New Guinea Inpatiens, could it simply be a new mixture

While it is invasive, it only appears more serious than it is due to the way it grows; densely and in sunny places, along roads and railroads. It doesn't penetrate very deep, though, and compared to other invasive plants, takes up not even a tenth of the area. The main point I want to make with this comment, though, is to say that it is edible! The roots, leaves, flowers and vines. I hear the roots are even sweeter than sweet potatos! I can't wait to try it. I encourage everyone to look up more information- maybe together we can eat it into remission! 😆

There seems to be limited information about Red Sarah Bernhardt, but several sites state that this peony is not related to Sarah Bernhardt but used Sarah Bernhardt as part of its name as a marketing tactic to take advantage of Sarah's huge popularity.

The Fiona Peony is sometimes sold as Red Sarah Bernhardt which it very closely resembles.

Red Sarah Bernhardt is not true red. It is described with terms such as cerise-red, fuchsia-red, purple and cerise colored, deep fuchsia-purple, and dark pinkish-purple tinged with red.

It appears the plant may go through a transition period in the first couple of years having blossoms in anemone form, then progressing to full double as the plant ages.

With only three pictures in the database (and two were mine), I had doubted that the daylily I was posting pictures of was really 'Small World Charles Cade', so I emailed Michael Miller to see if he could verify and he said he was 100% sure that it was indeed 'Small World Charles Cade'. He said that the spots can be due to cold nights.

I'm in the Pacific Northwest where growing daylilies can be a real challenge.

Though they live through our winters just fine and they'll bloom, so many either won't open all the way or they just don't look the way they're supposed to.

Hermitage Newton is one of the exceptions . It opens well and looks like it should, even in this cool climate.

I am seeing clumps of this rush in my shaded garden area. I will experiment with it as a clumping grass for the natural garden. Native to North America.

The Color description of this plant is incorrect, which I discovered last year. I have been corresponding with a member of multiple ADS Registration committees and I am very pleased that he has told me that the description has been corrected on the ADS Database. The amended entry includes an explanation about the error. I hope that the NGA Database will be similarly corrected. https://daylilydatabase.org/de...
