Son of a Sea Cook
This daylily is a Cascade and Pinched/Twisted Crispate Unusual Form. It is a cross between one of my seedlings ('Flying Trapeze' x 'Heavenly United We Stand') crossed with 'Red Volunteer'. I have been breeding with reds to try and get improvement in bud count over some of the reds that are presently on the market. In terms of the daylilies that I grow and many that I have seen, this one appears to be an improvement. It has 5-6 way branching on many of the scapes and a great bud count with more than 27 buds on many of the scapes. It begins to bloom in mid-late season and with its high bud count, blooming continues well into the late season. The colour is a nice clear fairly dark red but with some orange tones especially along the edges of the ruffled petals. The flower has a wide yellow throat with hints of green and a darker red eye surrounding the throat. If you're looking for more colour in your garden later in the season and colour that lasts for a good 4-6 weeks, this one should do the trick! Double Fan (DF) $40
