(S20-2) – [Wyoming Wildfire x Tigerling x All Fired Up)] TET 22"” 5.25"” E Ev Re, 2 Branches, 10 Buds. Three things make Danger Signal worthy of introduction and of a prominent position in your garden. First, its deep orange color with red eye and edge are extremely vibrant and will serve to brighten up any corner of your landscape. Second, Danger Signal is a heavy rebloomer. And finally, this daylily has thrown some fantastic seedlings! Fertile both ways. SOLD OUT

(T70-3) – [Velvet Onyx x Susan Pritchett Petit] TET 27”" 6"” EM SEv, 2 Branches, 12 Buds. Dark Command is a deep red-purple with yellow edging and represents a different look in doubles. Because of its lower bud count, I questioned whether I should introduce this beauty. In the end, its unique dark coloring and great plant habit answered the question for me. Fertile both ways and near 100% double.  SOLD OUT

(T78-1) [Flamenco Christmas x Blueberry Baroque] TET 30”" 6"” M Dor Re, 4-5 Branches, 22-24 Buds. I reserved this name years ago not knowing when a daylily deserving of the name might come along. Date With Destiny has arrived. This is one of the best doubles that I have grown or seen. It is near perfect in every respect. The grape purple base color is accentuated by a deep purple eye and a double outer edge of deep purple and cream yellow. Sometimes, a slate blue line appears between the two outer bands. This daylily is 100% double…I have never seen a single bloom. In fact, it is so double that it is hard to find the parts to cross. However, it is fertile both ways and is throwing gorgeous seedlings. DF $30

(B341-1) [Celestial Cindy Dye x Red Gladiator] TET 33" 5.5" ML SEV 5 branches and 24 buds.  Deep Obsession is a deep purple with wide creamy edges and lots of teeth all over. It is without a doubt the darkest of my toothy introductions. It takes its branching from Celestial Cindy Dye and has the kind of branching I would love on all my seedlings! Deep Obsession has wonderful plant habit and is fertile both ways.  DF $75

(A222-1) [COUNTDOWN TO LIFTOFF X KING CRAB] TET 42" 8" EM SEv, 5 branches 30 buds. DESERT FOX will be an ideal show flower with its terrific branching. I registered it conservatively with 5 branches but it can have up to 7 with 40 plus buds. It is beautiful ruffled orange with a red eye. Thanks to aggressive growth and lots of inventory, I am able to present this wonderful daylily at an excellent price. Fertile both ways. DF $60

(V18-3) [Jerry Pate Williams x (Topguns Power Broker x Blueberry Baroque)] TET 27”" 6”" M Ev, 4 Branches & 22 Buds, 99% Double. Double Bonfire is a watermelon red with touches of peach and pink. The blend is so smooth that you do not realize it is not a self color. I love these coral colors as I feel they bridge the gap between orange and red. Double Bonfire is a top performer in all respects. DF $25

(W20-1) [Signature Truffle x (Kay Day x King’s Point)] TET 28"” 5.5"” E SEv, 2 Branches & 12 Buds. 99% Double. I just love flowers that have a different look and Double Raspberry Lemonade certainly does!

DF $50

(T72-3) – [Outrageous Fortune x Susan Pritchett Petit] TET 27"” 5.5"” MRe SEv, 4 Branches, 22 Buds. Double Steal My Heart and Countdown to Liftoff are sisters, yet you would never guess it. Double Steal My Heart is a medium purple with yellow edges on both the petals and petaloids. What the sisters do share is their propensity to double. I have never seen a single bloom on either plant. This one truly has stolen my heart. Fertile both ways. SOLD OUT

(W39-1) [(Blueberry Baroque x Flamenco Christmas) x (Topguns Power Broker x Blueberry Baroque)] TET 23”" 5"” EM SEv, 3 Branches & 18 Buds, Rebloom. 65% Double. A double “WOW” daylily that drives me crazy as I never know whether it will double or not. That said, the flower is gorgeous as a single or a double. It is a heavily ruffled lemon yellow beauty with rose red eyes and edges. The ruffling is even more pronounced when it singles, something even a single purist can enjoy. Fertile both ways. DF $35

(Q12-1) [Splendid Touch x Debussy] TET 32"” 6.75" EM Re Ev, 3 branches, 15 buds. I like large flowers and this one certainly fills the bill with its nearly 7” flowers. Edge of Twilight is a lavender bitone with deep lavender petals and cream lavender sepals. The yellow green throat sets off a purple watermark eye, and the color is echoed in a thin line on the on the petal edges. I am using this in bitone and bicolor breeding. Fertile both ways. SOLD OUT

(T75-1) – [Candyman Can x Over the Top] TET 26”" 6"” EM SEv, 12 Buds. Evolution is a beauty to behold and quite complex to describe. It is rose in color with a deeper wine-red eye. Edges are cream-yellow and feature some teeth while the petaloids often display fantastic cresting, a feature I intend to incorporate in my hybridizing efforts. Evolution is near 100% double and fertile both ways.  SOLD OUT

(Y17-1) [Rolling Raven x Carolina Cool Down] TET 39" 9" EM SEv, 4 Branches & 24 Buds. Flashy Dresser is not at all shy about the statement she makes in the garden. Registered as an UF Spatulate, this is one stunner that grabs your attention and draws you in. The flower is a complete bicolor with medium purple petals and yellow sepals for a shocking contrast. She has outstanding plant habit and will, no doubt, make a statement wherever she grows. Easily fertile both ways. DF $40

(W22-1) [Christmas Cotton x Date With Destiny] TET 28" 6" EM Ev, 2 Branches & 12 Buds. If you are looking for something different in doubles, Forum is the ticket. Petals are cream pink blending to deeper orchid pink, and it displays a double edge of purple and cream. Sepals are cream pink and create a near bitone effect. While Forum does not have a high bud count, it more than makes up for it in beauty. SOLD OUT

(T87-4) [Donnas Prayer x Shores of Time] TET 36" 5.5" EM Re Dor, 3 Branches, 18 Buds. My mother grew and loved both daylilies and iris, and she passed her passion on to me. I believe she would be both proud and honored to have this showy cultivar named in her honor. Frances Elizabeth Stadler has a light purple base and a large cream watermark eye. It has a double edge of purple and cream yellow, and while it was not bred for teeth, it does often have a few. I waited a long time to name a daylily for my mother, and this is one of my best. Fertile both ways. DF $25

(F2-7) [Miss Piggy X Roses for Dallas] TET 45" 8.5" M DOR.  4 Branches, 20 Buds, Rebloom. "Frances Lucile" was named for my older sister, a wonderful cook and an even better person, and it is a tribute to her legacy.  The petals are a saturated orchid pink with a subtle white midrib above a green and yellow throat. Standing proudly at a height of 45 inches, "Frances Lucile" is the larger of two 2024 introductions from this Gossard / Davisson cross and it makes a bold statement in any garden setting.  While "Frances Lucile" does crispate, it does not do so consistently and is registered as an extra-large variety. Fertile both ways.  SF $100

(V98-1) [(Bold Encounter x Meet Joe Black) x (Meet Joe Black x Awesome Blossom)] TET 24"” 4.25"” EM Re SEv, 4 Branches & 18 Buds. I do not breed for small flowers. However, they sometimes just happen. Gigi’s Party was simply too striking and performed too well not to introduce. The petals are strawberry pink and have large eyes and edges in deep, raspberry red. This beauty has a distinctly different color and reblooms too! SOLD OUT

(P25-1) [Victorian Collar x Pharaoh’s Gold] TET 32"” 5" ML Dor, 4 branches, 20 buds. This beauty would best be described as a smooth, golden, buttercup yellow total self with a marvelous green throat. It is a near perfect performer in every respect, and its beautiful round form is accented by a piecrust edge. This will be a great show flower if you can get in bloom by show time! Fertile both ways. DISPLAY ONLY

(D500-2) [Volcanic Fury x Top of the Line] TET 33" 5.5" EM Dormant, 2 Branches, 12 Buds, 99% Double. Hawaiian Smoothie has absolutely stunning color that is almost indescribable. I am not sure whether to call it a red, orange, pink, salmon or the perfect blend of the four. The color is so pure, a true self, and looks good enough to eat! While the picture is beautiful, this in one that can only be fully appreciated in the garden. In addition, I have never seen a single bloom on this very consistent double. Fertile both ways. DF $75

(V31-2) [King's Point x Jerry Pate Williams] TET 38" 6.75" E Ev, 4 Branches & 20 Buds. 90% Double. Head of the Class is my tallest double introduction to date. The flowers are red/orange in color with a gold edge and are easily supported on sturdy, well branched scapes. Plant growth is quite vigorous and plants will occasionally throw rebloom scapes. Head of the Class is easily fertile both ways, and I have been using it extensively in my program because of its height and branching characteristics. DF $30

(G715-7)  [Wiggly Piggly x Banana Smoothie]  TET 38" 9" M DOR, UF Crispate,  4 branches and 20 buds.  This AMAZING cross brought me this deep golden yellow self with vivid green throat and more seedlings under evaluation than any cross I have done in many years.  You can spot this one from any place in the garden.  It has it all with branching, size, height, and outstanding color.  I have little doubt this will go down as one of my best creations.  Fertile both ways but extremely difficult pod parent.  DF $80

(G715-3) [Wiggly Piggly X Banana Smoothie] TET 46" 9" EM DOR, UF Crispate. 5 Branches, 30+ Buds, Rebloom.  As close to perfection as any of my daylily creations, "High Country Lemonade" is not your ordinary daylily. Bathed in a pure, smooth lemon-yellow hue, each 9” bloom unfolds like a sunlit celebration. Conservatively registered with a height of 46”, it is a garden feature that commands the attention of all who see it. The large green throat not only complements the bloom's color but draws the eye into the heart of this floral gem. Its robust and well-branched structure, coupled with an impressive bud count and rebloom ensure a prolific display throughout the blooming season. Pollen fertile only. May give a few pods in cooler climates. DF $125 

(Y17-2) [Rolling Raven x Carolina Cool Down] TET 44”" 10"” EM Ev, 4 Branches and 20 Buds. High Rise at Night is a sibling to Flashy Dresser (2015) and shows the tall, dark and handsome side of this fantastic cross. It serves as a beacon in the garden due to its height and deep wine-purple color. Like its flashy sibling, it also has outstanding plant habit. Easily fertile both ways and registered as an extra-large daylily. DF $50

(T83-2) – [Topguns Power Broker x Blueberry Baroque] TET 22”" 4.25"” EM Re SEv, 3 Branches, 14 Buds. Hollywood Honey has been a garden favorite from the beginning and has already created quite a following. The base color is peach-pink, the eye and edge are both deep purple, and the form makes this a “beauty beyond belief.” So far, Hollywood Honey has been completely double, an excellent rebloomer and a great parent. Fertile both ways.
