Maryott's has reported that this daylily is very rust resistant.

'It has been reported this cultivar is very prone to rust.' (Maryott's)

(Marsh-Klehm, 1981) Blooms midseason from June through August. Easy care plant has sunfast color and drought resistance. Herbaceous perennial. Good resistance to rust.

Maryott's has this listed as an evergreen.
Extremely rust resistant, but may not perform well in very cold areas.

‘Mariesii’ honors Chelsea gardener Charles Maries (1851-1902).

The border will look chartreuse, gold, or white depending on the amount of sun.

A very beautiful specimen plant.

H. longipes, H. kikutii and H. montana cultivars and all of their variants and hybrids would be good choices to survive extremely dry and hot conditions.

As to the viability of the seeds, pods are evident on H. 'Guardian Angel' and a few seeds may germinate but success is rare.

Best flowering occurs with some direct sun.

[H. 'Vaughn 73-2' H. plantaginea]

Hosta 'Baby Bunting' makes a great edging plant.

This is the parent plant to several excellent sports including Hosta 'Cameo' and Hosta 'Pandora's Box'.

Plant grows rapidly, reaching 14-16 inches tall. The fragrant white flowers appear in August, and match the attractive white variegation.

One of the neat effects is to constantly have both color leaf centers on the plant simultaneously.

This sport, a tetraploid form of H. 'Peedee Gold Flash', comes from Virginia's Mobjack Nursery...home of Hosta 'Patriot'.

A 'Tiara Series' Hosta. Sport of H. 'Golden Tiara' with gold coloration like that of H. 'Golden Scepter' but ribboned with a white border.

Discovered at Virginia's Mobjack Nursery and first auctioned for $700 at the 92 hosta convention.

Diana Remembered Hosta is named after the late Diana Princess of Wales.

Some reblooming. Good grower. 24" scapes.
