    I love day lilies and have several varieties in my garden, but none scented. Which type should I buy for fragrance? All suggestions appreciated...related to lilies only, please!

    Hemerocallis Dumortieri, Hemerocallis lilio-asphodelus [flava].
    There are more coming onto market all the time. I think most are crossed with the lemon lily [flava] which has a strong scent, so tend to be shades of yellow, cream, white. Some scented varieties in UK I've found are:
    Marion Vaughan yellow
    Catherine Woodbery pink/green throat
    All American Plum plum/yellow throat
    These are all day flowering ones. Citrina, which I've never had, is night flowering.
