Creating modern hardy hybrid daylillies...
especially for gardens in northern zones!

Daylily: Pink Ink*

Well, if ya like UF cascades... then what MORE could ya want in one, than JUST what you're seein' HERE?! WOO HOO!!!

Though dark, I'm hoping you can see in the garden photos I've got here that these amazingly HUGE and formal flowers make quite a statement "as a plant". The flowers themselves can start out in the 11" range, but still rather huge as they settle to ~9.5" as the season progresses. I just can't get enough of the variations in the cascade form... a literal PARTY, each and every day!!!

For quite a few years, I avoided working with diploids because they seemed to "stringy"... both in plant habit, and clarity of color in their flowers. It just seemed like a really long road to hoe to me to "get anywhere"... and I wasn't getting any younger. It had been hard to get better overall plant performance together with color clarity for me previously in dip's, but this plant "made it SO"! The best stat's I've had on performance were as a seedling clump, when it had (uniformly - on 15 scapes) 4 deeply lateral bifurcating branches and a terminal Y (total of 10 terminal whorls). I've not had it in 3rd-year clump form again since then, so used the average stat's of 2nd-year linings for registration ("worst case scenario" that anyone would see, which is still very impressive). Add in sheer flower dimension for added impact and effect of a cascade form? I'LL TAKE IT!!!!!!
