    Across the back of my property, I have 2 lilly hedges.

    Twenty years ago I planted one line of single ditch lillies across the back. They are now 10 ft. wide!

    Just beautiful CK. Even on a dull, rainy day those hedges must look simply wonderful.

    Ditch lilies?

    Never heard them called that before. Great planting of 'em, though.

    We call them ditch lillies, because they grow wild in the roadside ditches. Some people also call them Tiger Lillys.

    My sister-in-law, who also lives in Ohio, says all her neighbors call them ditch lilies. Here in New England, we just call them common day lilies.

    I have a neighbor that has 2 huge round beds of these in his front yard. They are each about 30 ft across. They are in a shady area and he couldn't get grass to grow there so he planted these.
