PRACTICAL MAGIC (2000)
36" MLa 5.5" Twilight Sun X (Indonesia x Guiniver's Gift)
Practical Magic is a dormant daylily with deep butter yellow flowers and
very ruffled petals - not surprising since both 'Ever So Ruffled' and
'Indonesia' are in its background. During periods of exceptionally hot
weather, the flower will "frost over" getting lighter in color - but it is
not unattractive and it never looses its substance. 'Practical Magic' has
21 buds on branched scapes. A few will be available in fall of 2009 @ $25.

RUPERT(2009)
34" La Re 6.5" SEV Diploid (Autumn King x Heaven Can Wait)
X sdlg
'Rupert' begins blooming when most midseason daylilies have finished, and
also produces immediate rebloom scapes. This clear yellow daylily honors
the memory my late friend Rupert Barneby, who worked at The New York
Botanical Garden as a botanist and taxonomist. Dr. Barneby's long career at
the botanical garden overlapped Dr. Stout's tenure there. Rupert liked
simple daylilies that resembled the species. Fertile both ways. A few of
these are available @ $40.

LAURIE THORP (2008)
32" ML Re 5" SEV Tetraploid (Liam x sdlg) X Earth Music
'Laurie Thorp' is a beautiful, ruffled, lavender-violet blend with a small
watermark. It is a vigorous grower, a fertile parent, and very floriferous
- typically 4-5 branches and 30 or more buds, and rebloom. Fall only, $65.

ROCKOLA RED (2008)
29" M 5.5" SEV Tetraploid (Miss Sally X Crimes of
Passion)
'Rockola Red' is a very showy, bright red self with good sunfastness. I
registered this one during a very dry season and it had 14 buds, but last
summer it had over 20, and an additional branch. 'Rockola Red' is a
vigorous grower and a fertile parent, producing beautiful red and purple
seedlings. $65

SYMPHONY IN YELLOW (2006)
40" EM 6.5" SEV Tetraploid (Something Wonderful X Isosceles)
'Symphony in Yellow' is a bright, ruffled, medium yellow self. I've
always admired Oscie Whatley's daylilies and in particular his yellows.
I've been breeding with several of his yellows to produce some of my own
lines; 'Symphony in Yellow' is the first intro. It's fertile, but a
difficult pod parent. I like the size of this flower, it starts off at 7"
but settles to about 6.5". Fall only, $50.
|
REDCLAY ROSE (2008)
38" EM 6" SEV Tetraploid (New Perspective X Angie Alabama)
'Redclay Rose' is a heavily budded rose-pink bitone that reblooms with
ample moisture. 'Redclay Rose' has 4-5 branches and 30 or more buds. A
fertile parent for bitone/bicolor flowers. Only a few are available in the
fall. $65
|
ORANGE OBSESSION(2005)
39" EM 6.5" SEV Tetraploid (sdlg X unknown)
'Orange Obsession' is a tall orange and yellow blend that is a real bright
spot in the garden. It is very floriferous, producing about 30 buds. I've
had good results using 'Orange Obsession' as a parent, but it does not pod
easily. $50
|
ANGIE ALABAMA (2001)
41" M 5" DOR Tetraploid (Flying Carpet X Season's Greetings)
Tall and branched with about 23 buds. My best parent for bitone/bicolor
seedlings - works well with purple, pink, red, and orange. Like many in this
category, "Angie" requires consistently warm temperatures -- especially at
night -- to do its thing. Very few plants are available. $75.
