(sap-oh-NAIR-ee-uh) (oh-fiss-ih-NAH-liss)
Synonyms: Bouncing Bet, Goodbye Summer
This is the first time I remember seeing Double Soapwort. The regular single Soapwort has been a nice plant to grow in rock gardens for me. It seems to like its soil very well drained and doesn’t take too much water. It will often grow under tough conditions and can accept a little shade. You can make soap from this plant and there have been some medicinal uses over the years.
Here are a couple more Daylilies. I tried to keep the names straight but might have got a little mixed up with the macro. It was difficult when there were 20 or 30 yellow types blooming. Some only had a very subtle shading as a difference. The first picture I know is Hemerocallis 'Buttered Popcorn'. From what I read about the plant it is an easy to grow, reblooming, hybrid. It was introduced by Benzinger in 1971.
