Daylily Seedling Linda’s Wonder

Unregistered seedling – Grant/Matel 2011

Grant a Wish was given to me to grow out as a seedling – Seedling LG2011#8. This is a 34 inch tall semi-evergreen tetraploid that has show stopping large blooms.  The spatulate, unusual form flowers are 8 inches across and are such an interesting peachy pink color.  I’ll call it baby pink but it looks more peach in twilight. There is a lighter pink halo and prominent mid-rib. The large throat is deep green inside turning pale yellow just before the halo starts. There is a slight ruffled or toothy edge and a thin white or light pink edge. They seem even bigger because they hold their petals out wide instead of curling.

Daylily Give Me Fuel

I think this is my favorite late blooming daylily. It’s a rich red velvet with a thin white edge that is sometimes not seen over a yellow to green throat. It is a sturdy dormant, tetraploid that is 36 inches tall with a 6 inch bloom and 15 buds on 3 branches. The parentage is not known. This plant will be a double fan.

Yellow Coneflower Echinacea Paradoxa

Echinacea paradoxa aka Bush’s Coneflower or Ozark coneflower is a rare native from the Ozarks in Missouri and Arkansas, but it is hardy to zone 4 and does well in the midwest. Unlike most of our natives it is yellow, which is the paradox. The plant gets about 3 feet tall and blooms from June through August. It does well in medium to dry soils and in sun to part shade. Bees and butterflies love this plant and deer do not. It even has a nice fragrance. Echinacea species can be cross pollinated and the unusual colors hybrids on the market often have this plant in their background.

These are two year old seedlings. You will get three of them for this price.

Daylily Sonic Duck

By Gossard 2006

Sonic Duck is a very tall (39 inch) dormant, tetraploid that has strong scapes to hold up the 8.5 inch, fragrant, pale yellow flowers.  An early mid-season rebloomer it is classified as unusual form with blossoms that are crispate and cascading. It has a bright red eye zone and a wide green throat. On the petals the eye zone is wide and cut by the yellow mid rib, but on the sepals it is a fine line giving the flowers an interesting star like appearance. 4 to 5 way branching with 22 to 38 buds means that this one really puts on a show. It is aptly named as the color is exactly that of a baby duck. Another bonus is foliage that always looks nice. This plant assumes a polymerous form more often than other plants (at least for me), meaning that may have extra sepals of petals.

Daylily Seedling LK East #2

By Krentz/Matel 2001 (not registered)

This slightly ruffled red/purple daylily has a large gold throat. It is 24 inches tall with a 4.5 inch bloom. The color is a nice rosy red/purple color with a slightly darker halo and some times gets a little tuft in the middle like it wants to double but I have not seen it fully double. It is a dormant, diploid that blooms mid-season. This poor little one was left in the field when it’s more impressive siblings were moved to the garden. So, I’d say that the most impressive thing about it is it’s resiliency. It has survived and flourished with zero care and surrounded by tall weeds. One tough plant.

Daylily Seedling GBBG MgPy

This daylily was acquired as a bonus at an auction with the Bad Buds (Bay Area Daylily). It is about 24 inches tall with a 4 inch bloom. It came from the daylily beds at the Green Bay Botanical Gardens obtained in the 1990’s. I kept it all these years because of the color which is a very clear purple with a darker purple eye band and a wide chartreuse eye. I don’t know what the MgPy means or who’s breeding program it came from.

Daylily Seedling Siloam Doodlebug #4

By Matel (not registered)

This miniature is a very fast grower and a good bloomer. I don’t have good documentation on it but I think the pollen parent may be Desert Princess. The color is unusual, very similar to  desert princess. I would call it copper with a burgundy eye over a star shaped green throat. There are cream colored midribs and a slight ruffle. It is just 14” high with a 2.5 inch bloom. It’s a dormant, diploid and it blooms early with a brief rebloom. Will see if the rebloom improves as it ages.
