I think Jim picked a beauty. This poly-chrome rose/pink/cream has a ruffled edge and a tangerine throat. The 34” tall scapes hold 6” flowers that start early and continue into the main bloom season. Jim is a dormant diploid that also has nice thick substance and raised cream mid-ribs.

Daylily Jersey Spider
Spiders are flowers with long narrow petals. Unusual and lovely, they create whimsical focal points to a garden design and Jersey Spider is one of the classics. It is very tall at 46” and the flowers really grab attention at the back of the border because they are gold/tangerine in color and 8” across…wow. A dormant diploid it starts mid-season but then extends into the late season. The green throat sets off the package of this historic daylily. Petal length to width is 4 1/2.0:1) and the form is sometimes wide open and sometimes crispate (pinched, twisted or quilted).

James Marsh developed the “Chicago” series of tetraploids and the “Prairie” series of diploids. Daylily ‘James Marsh’ has a large, sun-fast red flower with a contrasting yellow throat. It also has a subtle change in color near the throat, turning fuchsia that really makes this round perfectly formed flower pop. Held atop 30” scapes, the 5 to 6” flower has heavy substance and rarely gets water spots. A dormant tetraploid, it starts blooming earlier than most and continues through the main season. Another bonus is the slight fragrance.

“Indian Giver” is a winner with its classic form, ruffled edges and awe inspiring colors. It is blue/violet to fuchsia with a slightly lighter halo. The ruffles are white and the throat starts chartreuse and blends to yellow then white. It is an early mid-season re-bloomer, medium sized at around 22” with 4” flowers. It is a fast growing semi-evergreen diploid.
