Daylily Little Peanut

This miniature daylily grows to only 15” with many, many 2 1/2” blooms. It is just too cute. A semi-evergreen diploid; it starts early and extends its bloom into the mid-season. The color is unusual and difficult to explain. I would call it a rusty red orange with some streaking and a purple halo, but please see the picture. There is a thick cream colored to yellow edge that is a little ruffled and a yellow throat. It has such a heavy substance that the flowers last long into the night and many times for two days. Because of this it is classified as nocturnal.

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.

Daylily Indian Love Call

This red daylily is not just any red. It is dark red with poly-chromatic hints of purple that seem to change as the light changes. It is a 22” dormant diploid with a 5” flower; a mid-season bloomer. The glowing gold throat sets off this beautiful daylily.

Daylily Funny Valentine

Here’s a great large-flowered red daylily with foliage that looks great all season.  The breeder selected it for its dark blue-green foliage that will not yellow.  Sun-fast rose red, ruffled flowers with a bright green throat are produced on 4-way branched scapes, up to 25 buds per scape.  Height is 2.5 feet and it is a dormant, diploid.
