Description:

To be honest… with SUCH tall and strong scapes, deep bifurcating lateral branching, and ridiculous bud count – who even cares what the flowers look like? Well… luckily I do, and these are reeeeeally sweet!

As always, my biggest goal in breeding daylilies is centered around “garden performance”… and this one FAR surpasses the mark! My methods don’t sell as well as if I’d elected to hybridize just for a “pretty flower”, because a single flower’s mugshot is more appealing on a web sales photo. Furthermore, it can take a year or two to gain clump presentation… and our culture just doesn’t lean towards patience much anymore. I tried the tactic of using clump shots in the leader thumbnail for several years, and my click counter told me people don’t even bother opening those descriptions. Oh well, it was worth a try! Meanwhile, THIS plant is only ever seen “en masse”… so to hell with it, you’re getting a shot of what this amazing plant REALLY is, and right up front!

THANKS for clicking on the description, as you just MAY be an actual gardener!!! For sure, this fantastic dancer is SO much fun to see in person – and ya sure as heck don’t have to stoop over to do it (along with your visiting friends as well), either! This kind of performance was once totally unheard of in diploid cultivars, so it’s VERY fulfilling to “make it so”… even if I gotta pull teeth to get people to consider what my work “means” over time. Trust me – ya get this plant, and you’ll be bouncin’ off the walls with some heavy-duty dancin’ as well!
