2007 Diploid Introductions


Little Grape Cutie

Foliage is fine with a deep green color and is semi-evergreen. Little Grape Cutie is a midseason bloomer that is also a fast increaser.

Too Wonderful

(Seedling 44-03) (Stunned By Grace X Ellison Seedling) Without a doubt my best registration to date and my most sought after new introduction. Ruffling that is out of this world and easily passed on to its offspring. Some days the ruffles go over 1" deep into the petals. The ruffling is so heavily and tightly packed that on some days the ruffles interlock and need to be unlocked by hand. Most people agree that Too Wonderful is the most ruffled daylily they have ever seen. The 5" flowers are apricot in color and produced atop 26" stems. Too Wonderful blooms midseason with a bud count of 16. Foliage is dormant to semi-evergreen. In short supply, so order early.

Brad died tragically while on vacation during the summer of 2006. Bill has been a good friend of mine for many years, so I wanted to name a daylily after his son Brad who had a sterling reputation as a son, father, husband and employee. I hope you will like this fine daylily that was named for a fine person.
