This 18” miniature daylily has larger flowers for a miniature at about 3”. They are very dark red/purple with a glowing golden eye and a slightly ruffled edge. This color is hard to capture in a photograph and I would say that it is a little darker than shown here. It is an evergreen diploid so it does grow a little slower than the dormant daylilies here in the north but has survived many years and the foliage looks fine here in Wisconsin.

“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.

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.

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.
