Wild Horses Daylily Wins the Garden’s Triple Crown

🌸 It’s #FlowerFriday! 🌸

Daylilies are hands-down my favorite flower. Of the thousands of varieties, it’s difficult to choose a favorite, but Wild Horses truly takes my breath away.

Why do I call Wild Horses the “Triple Crown” of daylilies? In horse racing, the Triple Crown is the highest honor—only a rare few achieve it. For this flower to wear that crown, it must have three winning traits:

🌟 Showstopping Beauty
This variety has creamy-yellow 7-inch blooms with a dramatic black-purple halo, rising on 37-inch scapes. It makes an unforgettable statement in any garden.

🌟 Early Bloomer & Rebloomer
It’s one of the first to arrive in the season, and then it comes back for more. That means weeks of beauty.

🌟 Reliable Performance
I’ve grown many daylilies from seed over the years. But after one tragic night in Michigan when deer snacked on 100 of my seedlings, I prefer to buy healthy plants for a solid start. Oakes Daylilies offers Wild Horses, a best seller among their selection. (Not an ad—just sharing gardening love.)

So, do I have one blooming in my garden right now? Not yet. At $49.99 for a single plant or $129.99 for three, it’s a splurge. I’m dropping a hint for our upcoming anniversary.

And because no Wild Horses post would be complete without this…
“Wild Horses couldn’t drag me away…”
Here’s the hauntingly beautiful version of “Wild Horses” by The Sundays, which captures something about the way this flower makes me feel.
