    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Our longest blooming daylily, 'August Pioneer' opens its bright, graceful trumpets for up to eight weeks. Its color is something special, too, a softly glowing orange with hints of apricot that blends in harmoniously yet will draw you across the garden. And it multiplies quickly. All in all, it's a masterpiece from A.B. Stout, the founding father of daylilies.
