Stevens – 1983
The beauty of Sandra Elizabeth is that it is very late…a daylily blooming when all of the others are done. It is yellow but is fairly ruffled. Her 6” flowers are held atop 28” scapes. She is a dormant tetraploid and so really hardy and the flowers open even when it is cold.
SORRY, WE NO LONGER HAVE THIS PLANT.

Daylily Sammy Russell
This heirloom daylily is a late blooming dormant diploid. It is brick red with a gold throat that extends out, star-like, onto the mid-ribs. Give this fast grower some space or it will grow into the one you planted next to it. Though not a true spider the 4 inch flowers do have a spidery form with thin petals. The plant stands about 2 ½ feet tall.

Daylily Sail On
This daylily looks “spider like” but the petals are not long enough to truly be classified as a spider. The flower opens and the narrow petals curl back (see picture). This dormant diploid is red with a large gold throat and mid-ribs. He is a mid-season extended bloomer that is 34” tall with a 5” flower.

Daylily Rustic Dream
Rustic dream is one of those that is difficult to describe. It is sort of an orangy-rusty-rose. From the throat it starts green then blends to gold and then this “rustic” color. It is 26 inches tall with a 6.5 inch bloom that starts mid-season and then re-blooms. It is an evergreen, tetraploid with 32 buds on 3 branches. The parentage is (Wildfire Tango × Enchanted Elegance).

Daylily Red Ribbons
These deep ruby red spiders do look like ribbons at 8” with a ratio of 4.7:1. They are super-tall. Big long buds held on 40” stems. Though they are an evergreen diploid they do pretty well here in Wisconsin. The star like, warm gold center really shines. The petals curl back nicely and sometimes the gold extends down the mid-rib or as a thin line along the edges.

Daylily Ralph Henry
A peachy orange daylily with a raised cream mid-rib and cream around the edge of the lower petals. The dormant diploid plant is 20” with 5” blooms. This is not the same as “Siloam Ralph Henry”. It is just “Ralph Henry”. Yes, there are 2 of them and the Siloam daylily of the same name is very popular while this one is rare.

Daylily Purple De Oro
The ‘de Oro’ in the name makes you think this will be a good performer and it does bloom throughout the season. A dormant diploid; it will grow as quickly as your Stellas. With blooms only 3” it could be called a miniature daylily, but the mass of plum purple with yellow throats does not seem little. There is some streaking in the veins and the edges are slightly ruffled. A compact plant at only 20”…enjoy.

Daylily Pumpkin moonshine
A golden yellow daylily that will stand out from the crowd. Its perfect shape and gorgeous dark red eye zone will make sure of that. It even shows the eye zone on the lower petals and the throat is an unusual dark orange color. It is a 22” dormant tetraploid that blooms early with 4 1/2 “, slightly fragrant flowers.

Daylily Primal Scream
Primal Scream does just that to your senses when you see it. The 8” tangerine/orange blooms have a ruffled edge. Depending on the weather, sometimes they open wide and perfect and sometimes they curve back and bend and twist into an unusual form. The plant is large at 34” and it is a dormant tetraploid with huge fans. It starts blooming mid-season and has a large bud count for one so large, so it keeps cranking out the color, lasting into the very late season. It has won the Stout Silver Medal, the Lambert/Webster Award and the President’s Cup Award in 2013. If you thought you didn’t like orange daylilies try this one; it will really stand out in your garden.
