HARDY HYBRID DAYLILIES |
|
Daylilies are my passion. Collecting over 1000 hybrid daylilies gave me access to some great gene pools to start hybridizing my own daylily cultivars. There is nothing more exciting than seeing a flower bloom that NO ONE else has even seen! Each cross produces offspring, like children. They may have some characteristics of their parents but they are all individuals. Each different. My hybridizing focus is on rich colors, exotic shapes and forms, northern hardiness and good plant habits. Those daylilies will be the summer stars in perennial borders. A few seedlings under evaluation follow with their seedling number.
