H. 'Secret Agent Babe'

H. 'Secret Agent Babe' is nearly 100% polymerous with 7½" blooms. In the picture above the blooms are 9 inches!! Imagine how big that beast is that is hovering over all the "babes!" Big just keeps getting bigger at Daylilies of North Carolina where size matters, too!

Daylilies of North Carolina is the leading hybridizing garden on the planet for the advanced development of the polymerous form of Hemerocallis. We continue to march forward with unequaled diversity of size, color, form, substance, rebloom, and all desired characteristics of polymerous daylilies!!

In addition to leading the Polymerous Revolution, our tetraploid breeding continues reaching new heights with incredible clarity of color, vibrance, and form. We are proud of our daylilies and strive to create flowers worthy of your garden.

Why multiple images of our flowers?

At Daylilies of North Carolina we are endeavoring to show multiple pictures of each flower on "individual cultivar pages." The picture above shows the cultivar page for H. 'Redefining Genetics' with 18 different images so that you can see the flower under different lighting, blooming, and environmental conditions. We do not want to post one "cover girl" picture that can misrepresent our flowers.

This website is a continuous work in progress and we started the individual cultivar pages with our own introductions. Please be patient as we continue the process by adding galleries of all the flowers growing at Daylilies of North Carolina.

Hemerocallis ‘Barefoot And Pregnant’ (Baxter, 2013)

Hemerocallis ‘Barefoot And Pregnant’ is a 55% polymerous 2014 introduction.

H. 'Barefoot And Pregnant' is a key component of the daylily fancier that is hybridizing for polymerous characteristics because of its incredible easy nature of setting pods. Not one of the highest percentages to come out of H. 'Carolina Octopus' × H. 'Chief Four Fingers' but its importance to the gene pool should not be underestimated.

This mid-season bloomer received its name because I can usually be found working barefoot in the garden during the bloom season and the plant can be found loaded with pods, even when other plants won't set. H. 'Barefoot And Pregnant' follows in the footsteps of H. 'Moments That Linger' and H. 'Time To Play' in that it is a new, inexpensive polymerous introduction with incredible seed producing capabilities even during the extreme heat and humidity of bloom seasons as occurred in 2013.

H. 'Barefoot And Pregnant' has saturating blackish red coloring above a vivid yellow throat. The petal pinching 7 ½" crispate unusual form blooms sit atop 28" scapes with nice spacing. The flower is diploid with a semi-evergreen habit.

I am initially offering this plant as double divisions in an effort to help polymerous hybridizers advance the development of polys as quickly as possible. Demand is expected to be high for H. 'Barefoot And Pregnant' as it was also highly desired by non-hybridizing garden visitors who were captured by its garden presence alone.
