(Reed 2016) 40" LATE 6" Dormant Diploid, 3 branches 26 buds, UF cascade
Warm dark rose pink with a light green to white throat that blends out onto the petals and sepals; lighter ruffles. Dependable late-blooming, star-shaped cascade with great branching and bud count. Blooms heavily in August, “after” midseason. Out of AFTER AWHILE CROCODILE, but much better color. Pod and pollen fertile. $75
FOGGY BOTTOM (Reed, 2016) 56” M 6” dormant, diploid, 3 branches 24 buds, UF cascade
Foggy Bottom is one of the oldest neighborhoods in DC, a mysterious low area near the Potomac River, where the State Department resides (who knows what goes on there). The daylily is a secretive purple, with a light green to white throat radiating out onto the petals and tepals until it merges into the grape color midway. The blooms are on tall, nicely branched scapes, and recurve to display the blending of fog and darkness. It is from a cross of PURPLE ARCHITECTURE x JUST JESSIE. Pod and pollen fertile.
SOUTH POLE (Reed, 2016) 42” La 6” dormant, diploid, 3 branches 18 buds, UF cascade
Polar opposite to North Pole (with its large, stiff crispate form and white/green colors), South Pole is a graceful, ruffled cascade in soft creamy snow white. Light green throat shifts to cream yellow late in the day. Out of my SNOWBOARDING X NED’S CHOICE (Lovett). Pod and pollen fertile. $100
