Kit And Caboodle
H. 'Polynesian Love Song' x 'Lori Goldston'
33" tall -- 6" flower -- Semi-Evergreen - Mid-Late -- Tet.
This large-flowered melon daylily has excellent substance, opening easily in the morning and lasting well into the evening. With 3-way branching and a bud count of 17 'Kit And Caboodle' always displays lovely piecrust edging occasionally showing soft folds near the throat. It provides an exceptional show on established clumps. The yellow-throated blooms often have a light sculpting effect. The plant increases well and overwinters beautifully in our zone 4b garden. Fertile both ways. Single fan: $60.00 SOLD OUT FOR SPRING 2009

Greased Lightning
'Forestlake Ragamuffin' x 'Classic Edge'
28" tall, -- 6" flower -- Semi-Evergreen -- Mid-Late -- Tet.
I like unusual flowers and this ornate lavender with grape purple eye and double knobby edge of purple and metallic gold certainly fits the bill. Early season blooms produce a heavier gold edge but it is always present until the end of its long bloom cycle (it sometimes reblooms here). Flowers open early and reliably on sturdy scapes. A stand-out in clump form! This plant has a moderate rate of increase and bounces back from winters very well. 3-way branching and a bud count of 16. Fertile both ways and producing very nice double-edged kids. Single fan: $60.00 SOLD OUT FOR SPRING 2009

Sneaky Pete
'Swallow Tail Kite' x 'Captain Nemo'
38" tall --7.5" flower -- Dormant -- Mid-Late -- Tet. - Unusual Form Crispate
'Sneaky Pete' is a deep purple unusual form with a lighter lavender watermark (which tends to be more prominent on cloudy days) over brilliant green throat. As the day warms up, the blooms often present in cockerel form (three sepals quilled). 3-way branching (often 4-way) with a bud count of 18-20. The Spring foliage is a lovely blue-green. This daylily is a very good increaser producing ample medium-sized fans so double fans will be sent. Fertile both ways, however pods can be difficult. Double Fan: $60.00
