PREVIOUS INTRODUCTIONS (Q-Z)

(A271-1) [ROLLING RAVEN X REDDY FREDDY] TET 36" 12" EM SEv, 3 branches 18 buds. Spider 4:1 ratio & UF crispate. If you are a fan of spiders or UFs, how about both in one daylily? ROYAL RIBBONS is a HUGE dark purple with a large green throat. It is definitely one that catches your eye from across the garden. I have found it to be a difficult pod parent (not impossible), and its pollen is quite fertile. DF $60

(U39-1) – [Shores of Time x Spectral Elegance] TET 30"” 6"” EM Re Ev, 4 Branches, Up to 22 Buds. For over 10 years, Bill and Sarah Lowe allowed me to use their land to grow my seedlings. I can’t imagine how I could have come this far without their generosity. Last year, Sarah passed away, and this wonderful daylily is dedicated to her memory. Sarah Lee Lowe (the daylily) is a light pink that darkens toward a nicely ruffled edge of cream-yellow. Depending on the weather, it can sometimes bloom as a lavender-pink. This is a great all-around daylily from exceptional breeding. Fertile both ways.  SOLD OUT

(Y86-2) [Baby Baracuda x Venus Flytrap] TET 36"” 4.5"” EM Dor, 6-7 Branches & 30+ Buds. Sawtooth Ridge is a sibling to this year’s Celestial Cindy Dye and is every bit as good. The flower is dark purple with a black eye. It displays heavy gold teeth that are sometimes more fringy than toothy. I am toying with the idea of taking this into my black daylily lines and believe I could get black toothy daylilies. Sawtooth Ridge has excellent branching, plant habit and is Dormant. Easily fertile both ways. DF $45

(W11-1) [Jewels Of The Sun x Black Fury] TET 30”" 5.75"” EM Re Dor, 4 Branches and 22 Buds. While not what I envisioned when I made this wide cross, the results were spectacular. Smoky The Bandit is a deep, smoky purple with a green throat. A red band at the top of the throat gives way to a black eye creating a different throat and eye combination. Smokey The Bandit is a great all-around daylily. Strong growth, good bud count and heavy rebloom make for a long bloom season. DF $25

(Q11-1) [Panda Bear x Strawberry Lace] TET 30"” 5.75" M Re Ev, 3 branches, 15 buds. This garden standout is chartreuse yellow with a large rose eye and edge and a green throat. It will absolutely stop you in your tracks! Perhaps even more exciting than its showy color, however, is its performance in the garden. ‘Starblaze’ is a progressive re-bloomer with 2-3 scapes emerging from each fan for a very long bloom season. This was one of my favorites from the very beginning. Fertile both ways.  DISPLAY ONLY

(Q4-1) [Great White x Taos] TET 28”" 6.5" EM Re Dor, 14 buds. This eye-catcher is a baby ribbon pink self with a narrow gold edge and green throat. The first blooms of the season are 7” and decrease slightly in size as the season progresses. The form and size are the strongest attributes of ‘Stuck on You’ and the narrow gold edge gives it just the right amount of pop in the landscape. Strong rebloom offsets the bud count. Fertile both ways. SOLD OUT

(W108-1) [Jewels of the Sun x Irresistible Charm] TET 30"” 6"” EM SEv, 4 Branches, 20 Buds, Rebloom. I have always loved the combination of yellow, orange and red in the garden, and Summer Saga has it all. The butter yellow base color accentuates the red/orange eye perfectly and creates a stunning focal point in the garden. In addition to being a beautiful daylily, Summer Saga is a top notch plant and a great parent. Fertile both ways. DF $30

(S3-1) – [Awesome Blossom x Meet Joe Black] TET 20" 4.25" E Re Ev, 10 Buds. It is virtually impossible to walk past Toast of the Town without stopping for a second look. It has been in my garden for years and still forces me to apply the brakes. This daylily is deep yellow with a near black eye and edge. Bottom line…the flower is a knockout. While Toast of the Town has a low bud count, it more than makes up for it with heavy rebloom. Fertile both ways.  SOLD OUT

(W100-1) [Grand Masque x Crossfire Trail] TET 28"” 5.75"” EM SEv, 3 Branches and 18 Buds. Tomorrow Land is a light peachy orange with a vivid purple eye and edge. It has been one of my favorites since its maiden bloom and is absolutely stunning with its near perfect ripple ruffling. In that ideal futuristic world of tomorrow, I have no doubt that “Tomorrow Land” will have a prominent place in the garden.  SOLD OUT

(Y29-1) [(King’s Point x Jerry Pate Williams) x (Outrageous Fortune x Fires Within)] TET 36"” 6"” E Ev, 4 Branches & 22 Buds. 99% Double. I have no doubt that this daylily is “Top of the Line” and that it rivals my best double introductions to date, Volcanic Fury (2014) and Date with Destiny (2009). As illustrated in the pictures here on the website, it blooms in both peony and petaloid double forms, and it can vary in color throughout the season. Generally, it blooms closer to pink or rose on cooler days, while it can blend significantly with peach on warmer days. Top of the Line is a stunning daylily and has been a garden favorite of many visitors. Fertile both ways. DF $30

(T1-5) [Crossfire x Paint The Town Red] TET 29" 5.5"” ML SEv, 5 Branches & 26 Buds. I have been working in reds for many years and I find improvement in the lines to be almost as difficult as those in black daylilies. Total Power is a ruby red with excellent ruffling and tremendous plant habit. I consider it the best red in my garden bar none. While I did not register it as a rebloomer, it does throw rebloom scapes from time to time. P.S. – Look for the next great red out of Crossfire breeding (Off The Charts) coming in 2014.    SOLD OUT

(Y113-1) [Jewels of the Sun x Tomorrow Land] TET 25"” 6"” EM SEv, 4 Branches & 22 Buds. You better watch out! With her bright red eye and edge on pure yellow petals, this Vivacious Lady may seduce you before you realize what’s happened. The deeply ruffled edge draws you in and the warm tones will turn up the heat in your garden. Add hardy plant habits to this beautiful gem, and you have an outstanding daylily that commands attention. Easily fertile both ways.  SOLD OUT

(X23-1) [(Kay Day x Kings Point) x Celestial Red Hots] TET 32"” 6"” M Dor, 4 Branches, 20 Buds. If I used a blueprint to pattern the rest of my doubles, Volcanic Fury could easily be it. This daylily is near perfection in every way. It is a deep hot orange with a blending of red. It is so good, that I am comparing it to Date with Destiny (2009), not in color but in overall performance. If you buy just one of my doubles, this has to be the one. 99% double and fertile both ways. DF $30
