Daylily firestorm and Gold Spider
This sunny golden yellow daylily is a standout in your garden and defiantly won’t be confused with a Stella. It is very tall at 38” and the flowers are 8” across…wow. It is a spider, but the petals are a little wider than many other spiders. A mid-season bloomer it keeps going into the late season and being a dormant diploid, it performs well in northern gardens. It contrasts beautifully with reds and oranges.

Daylily Gentle Shepherd
A 29” semi-evergreen diploid with 5” flowers; this is one of the whitest daylilies that we have. Some of the whites are a little thin and are damaged by rain or cold temps but this guy opens nicely every time and stands up to the weather. It is accented with a chartreuse throat. It is not the fastest grower in the north but has survived many winters and the bright white in the moon garden is worth the wait.

Frankie’s Fantasy is a spider variant with a ratio of 4.50:1. It is tall at 32 inches and sports big 7 inch blooms. It is an early mid-season re-bloomer so it just keeps going, and the fact that it is a dormant tetraploid makes it a great choice for northern gardens. Dark purple self above a green throat remains color fast and it always opens even in cold weather. Here is the parentage ((Chicago Blackout × sdlg) × Russian Rhapsody).

Daylily Frances Hughes
Francis is a gorgeous violet with a watermark in the eye zone that is difficult to explain. You will have to look at the picture. It is both white and lavender and sometimes streaks. Sometimes the thin white line is present on the edge as well. This is set off by a chartreuse throat. A 29” dormant tetraploid with a 5 ½” flower Francis blooms mid-season.
Parentage: (Princess Blue Eyes × Royal Viking)

Daylily Forty Second Street
Forty Second Street is a 5” double that will not be mistaken for anything else in your garden. The peachy cream blooms are shaped a little different each time, but always wonderfully ruffled and the contrast with the large rose eye zone and gold throat is beautiful. The plant reaches about 24” and is a mid-season re-bloomer that usually re-blooms in the late season. Though it is an evergreen diploid it has done well in our Wisconsin gardens.

Daylily Catherine Neal
A perfectly formed round flower with a ruffled edge is stunning in deep plum purple. It is a mid to late season bloomer that is a dormant diploid. At 30” with a 6” flower this plant starts late but them blooms into the night and the lime green throat blending to white before hitting the darkness really makes it stand out in the dark.

Daylily Firestorm
This really spidery, unusual form variety is huge at 8” and fairly tall at 31”.
A fabulous orange influenced brick red that has an attention grabbing bright yellow eye that spreads in to the halo zone so that the entire center (about 4” is that color). The Petals sometimes spread out wide as in this picture curling back a bit but other blooms are twisted and pinched in interesting ways. An early mid-season re-bloomer this dormant diploid can also have a crispate edge.
