Golden Encounter

This daylily is a very hardy dormant with very good vigour. The 30" scapes carry the large (5.75") flowers well above the foliage. It has a 12 bud count with 3-4 way branching. The dark golden yellow flowers with their large dark burgundy/wine eye and edge stand out in the garden. A lighter pencil rim edge surrounds the dark burgundy edge on very nicely ruffled petals. Light golden yellow midribs extend out from a green/yellow throat. It combines the great plant habit of my 2011 introducton, 'Red-Edged Sunrise' with 'Gavin Petit'. $18 DF (Double Fan). Although the bud count isn't exceptionally high, this has been a favorite daylily among customers who have purchased it. I have received many positive comments about how much people like it.
