It is difficult to get a photo that truly represents the burnt orange and red tones of 'Arcturus Embers'. The coloration is unique and it is a rare reverse bitone with copper orange ruffled petals and red orange sepals. There is a darker burnt orange/red eye and a green/yellow throat. Many guests to the garden commented on the unique coloration of this daylily and expressed their hope that I would register it one day. It is named after the star Arcturus which is known as an orange star. The multiple layers of orange tone colours made me also think of embers as a fire dies down, thus the name 'Arcturus Embers'. This daylily originates from a cross between one of my seedlings (Flying Trapeze x Heavenly United We Stand) as the pod parent and 'Red Volunteer' as the pollen parent. If you're looking for a daylily that will stand out in your garden and draw the attention of onlookers, this is that daylily. It is classified as an Unusual Form Pinched Crispate. Another great quality of this daylily is that it helps to extend the daylily bloom season in the garden and blooms (mid-late) August into September in my coastal Nova Scotia garden. It really has to be seen to be appreciated as a stand-out daylily. $60.00 DF (Double Fan)

Blooms later in my garden.  A great bloomer!

This beautiful daylily combines Ontario hybridizer Brian Culver's 'Inspiration Road' with one of my best introductions 'Lavender Space Journey'. I am very pleased with the outcome.  The result is a beautiful purple bitone flower with lighter lilac sepals. It also has a soft lemon yellow applique throat. There is very good 4-5 way branching on the scapes and an average of 18 buds per scape.  The flowers begin in midseason and mature clumps have an outstanding display with the contrasting bitone colours. It is a full sibling to my 2020 introduction 'Pink Triangle'. For naming the plant, there actually is such a thing as a bitonal symphony, and a quick google search gives an adequate explanation. However, my use of the name 'Bitonal Symphony' also employs a secondary meaning for bitonal, that being two shades of the same colour. Since the flower is registered as a bitone (dark petals and lighter sepals in the same colour range)  I thought 'Bitonal Symphony' was appropriate even if it is a bit of play on words.  Double Fan (DF) $60.

This wonderful daylily is named to honour Brian Smith, the first major daylily grower in Nova Scotia selling to the general public. Brian has promoted daylilies for decades and he is an important founding member of the Nova Scotia Daylily Society. The flower is a dark regal purple, with heavy ruffling and mouse ears on the petals. The dark yellow colour emanating from the throat merges with the purple petals to form a chalky, blue, slate halo with purple/wine veins. The sepals have a thin, pencil-line cream edge. The petals have a creamy yellow heavily ruffled edge. A thinner violet edge separates the purple of the flower from the yellow outer edge. This is an outstanding plant in my garden. It is a hardy dormant and the flowers open well all of the time, the colour is sunfast and there is very little spottiness. It is a cross between 'Forever The Optimist' and 'Super Model'. It is a great addition to any garden. $35 Double Fan

This daylily was produced by crossing my 'Emerging Star' as the pod parent with pollen from 'White Eyes Pink Dragon'. It has more of a spider look to it than its full sibling 'Joni Guptil'. However, it is registered as an Unusual Form daylily and has been an outstanding plant in my garden. It actually fits all 3 UF classifications as a Cascade, Spatulate, Crispate Unusual Form and that's why I included Trinity as part of the name. Of course it's star-like look inspired the word celestial and thus 'Celestial Trinity' seems fitting. This daylily has a lot of fantastic qualities that make it a superb garden plant. Most scapes have 5-6 way branching and over 20 buds. Now that's a lot of blooms. Adding this plant to your garden will give you a season of delight as it will bloom from 4-6 weeks as an established clump. A further rarity is that it blooms later in the season so when many other daylilies are winding down for the season it is performing really well! As a dormant, it is a very hardy plant and will come through the worst of winters. The flower is a dark rose pink with a slate halo with a wide lemon yellow throat with hints of green deep at the base of the throat. The yellow extends outward and lightens to near white on the raised and pinched midribs. For a really great plant that will add a sense of motion to your garden in a slight breeze, choose 'Celestial Trinity. Double Fan (DF) $50.00

This daylily has a stunningly beautiful clear-coloured dark rose pink flower with a large dark wine eye. It has gentle ruffles around the petals and to a lesser degree around the sepals. The dark wine colour of the eye surrounds the outside of the petals and an additional light cream, pencil-line edge is also visible on the outside rim of the petals. A large green throat enhances the deep wine colour of the eye. Narrow raised ridges extend from the throat out towards the eye, and dark wine veins extend in a starburst fashion from the throat, creating a light wine shadow as it joins to the darker main eye. The scapes have 3-4 way branching and it has an excellent bud count usually from 18-25 buds. In my garden the flower is larger than either of its parents' blooms ('Cherry Lane' x 'Loaves and Fishes'). I have been growing this daylily successfully in my garden for more than 5 years. However, it is an evergreen and I do not recommend moving it or dividing it in late summer or fall. If you need to move it, I would stick to springtime division. Once established it is a great plant. My daylily friend and fellow hybridizer Ed Kimball, noticed it growing in my garden and brought it to my attention as I had overlooked it. Therefore, I named it Cherry Blossom Discovery. $30 Double Fan

As a mature clump this plant stands out in the garden. It has a large 5.75" flower on 2-3 way branching with a good bud count of 15. The flower is a lemon yellow self with a wine eye and a green yellow throat. There are touches of a narrow wine edge on the petals as well as a delicate crimped edge. It is easily pod and pollen fertile and is a very hardy dormant, recovering well from early fall division. (El Desperado x Dragon Flight) This daylily is named to honour my good friend and past present of the Nova Scotia Association of Garden Cubs, Don Butler, for his contribution promoting landscape gardening in Nova Scotia. $15 DF (Double Fan).

This daylily is a cross between 'Ruby Spider' x 'Cloud Chaser'.  This Unusual Form (Pinched Crispate) is a very dark purple self with a noticeably darker chevron pattern on the petals and sepals.  The large golden yellow throat with hints of green, spreads outward on the petals and sepals.  Dark veining is clearly evident on all of the tepals.  A light coloured, slightly raised midrib is barely noticeable on the petals.  3-way branching and 14 buds. This is a very vigorous, hardy plant and has been very popular with visitors to the gardens. $16 (Double fan)

This daylily has been a standout for visitors to the garden and for those who have seen photos of it.  One of the parents is a seedling of mine that has a unique coloration. Unfortunately, that plant has not been hardy enough to register and distribute in my gardening zone. However, I believed that its gene pool carried distinctive qualities that were worth trying to capture, but I needed to breed hardiness into the offspring. After analyzing what might preserve the unique coloration of the seedling but also add hardiness, I crossed the seedling with 'Mahogany Belle' using both plants as pod parents but I only got seeds from (Spirit Zone x Gavin Petit) x 'Mahogany Belle' and not from the reverse cross. I need to explore this cross further but sometimes work gets in the way! From the seed that I got 'Etched Mahogany' stood out as a hardier plant than its pod parent, but it also preserved some of the unique coloration from that parent. The flower is a reverse bitone burnt orange mahogany with a very dark, almost black etched eye. There are hints of green in the golden yellow throat and a starburst effect with the dark, etched lines from the eye. The petal colour becomes lighter toward the edges and there is a pencil line darker edge on the petals that has a secondary rim of light cream on the outer extremity of the petal edges. The petals are also slightly ruffled. The flower appearance can change slightly from day to day and in different amounts of heat but it remains a standout unique flower. If you're looking for something a little different, this daylily may appeal to you. In addition, it is a mid-late season bloomer so it will help to extend the bloom season in your garden. It has an average bud count of 14 with 3-4 way branching on the scapes. Double fan (DF) $65.00

This daylily comes from a cross of my introduction 'Annapolis Valley Mountains' as the pod parent crossed with Curt Hanson's 'Rock Lobster'. Since both parents had sculpting in the flower, I was hoping that some of the offspring would exhibit this trait as well. I was rewarded with several seedlings with sculpted flowers and I finally settled on this one to register and introduce. I love the beautifull clear colour. The flower sculpting is more evident for the beginning and middle of the bloom cycle. Nevertheless, the flowers are a beautiful cherry red with white edges and white midribs above a yellow throat throughout the bloom season. The scapes have 3-4 way branching and an average bud count of 18. If you want to get your dayliliy season started with a standout daylily, this early-midseason bloomer will do the job. Provide some white or yellow flowers near it and you will have a winning floral combination. 'Frosted Hot Spot' added to your garden will keep you smiling for several weeks of daylily bloom. $65.00 DF (Double Fan)

'Fuchsia Space Beacon' is from a cross with my 2016 registration 'Lavender Space Journey' as the pod parent and 'White Eyes Pink Dragon' as the pollen parent. The result was a very high bud count (in my garden) of more than 25 buds per scape and 2-3 way branching on the scapes. As an Unusual Form Crispate daylily, the clusters of flowers always open well and there is a steady and amazing bloom performance for 3-5 weeks. This extends through all of the midseason and into early late season. Early in the day the petals are more of a darker purple and change to a more vibrant fuchsia. The genetics make it a good breeder for anyone interested in UF daylilies. Because of the long bloom season, the fuchsia tepals with the yellow throat and lighter watermark, light up the garden like a beacon through much of the summer. The star like shape also gives it an extraterrestrial feel. For a very hardy daylily with a long bloom season and lots of colourful flowers this one is a winner.                            $34.00 DF (Double Fan)

This daylily is named to honour one of my first customers (Gail Romo) and an unfailing friend and volunteer helper at our gardens, who loves daylilies. Although the plant is an evergreen, it is very hardy. It was lined out as single fans in late summer and overwintered exceptionally well with no losses and great spring growth. The flower is a medium light rose pink self. A soft lemon yellow throat forms a beautiful triangle with the lemon yellow echoed at the beginning of the sepals. A raised cream coloured midrib extends the full length of the petals. The flower has heavy substance that holds up well in sun or rain and is both pod and pollen fertile. The cross combines Canadian hybridizer John Peat's 'Lupita Vindaz' with the 2014 Stout Silver Medal winner 'Websters Pink Wonder'.  $20 DF (Double Fan)

Several years ago I crossed the daylily 'Gavin Petit' with 'Loaves and Fishes', resulting in several interesting seedlings with dark eyes. However, none were very vigorous or particularly hardy. I selected the best one of the bunch for breeding purposes to work on vigour and hardiness while trying to keep the darker colours. A cross of (Gavin Petit x Loaves and Fishes1) with 'Clarification' produced some great looking seedlings and many are vigorous and most are hardy in my garden. 'Galactic Eclipse' is the first of those seedlings to be registered, with others being considered. Additionally, I have been using them in my breeding program with lots of great looking seedlings now being evaluated. 'Galactic Eclipse' is a mid-late blooming daylily so it blooms through August into early September in my cool coastal garden. It is a gorgeous clear coloured daylily. The flower is a deep wine in colour with a very dark wine (near black) eye and edge. Wine striations extend from the dark eye into the yellow throat giving the effect of a star emerging from an eclipse in the middle of a very dark galaxy. For those who are drawn to darker colours this is a must have intensely coloured daylily. Surrounded by yellow or lighter coloured flowers this daylily will make a statement in your garden! Each bloomstalk has 2-3 way branching and a good bud count of 15 that will provide bouquets of blooms in the mid-late season garden. $70.00 DF (Double Fan)

'I'se the B'y' is a very nice bi-tone daylily. On hotter days there is some fading of the colours which intensifies the contrast between its petals and sepals and actually makes the flower look even better. The petals are a dusty rose colour with dark veins very distinct cream midribs. The cream colour of the midribs is also echoed on the sepals as the primary colour but they also have a light blush of rose colour. At the base of the petals and sepals the throat of the flower is a lemon yellow. This is a very hardy daylily, and relatively slow growing, even though both of the parents are very quick to clump up. The pod parent is my 2011 registration 'VIolet's Army' crossed with the pollen from Nancy Oakes' 'Miss Underestimated'. As a fairly tall daylily it will stand out in your garden with it's height and the contrasting colours of the petals and sepals. With a bud count of 17 it has a fairly long blooming season starting before the midseason and continuing to bloom for several weeks. The 3-4 way branching help to give the clumps a fairly good bouquet appearance. For naming this one I borrowed from the popular folk culture of Newfoundland. The name 'I'se the B'y' is a well-known traditional Newfoundland folk song often performed internationally with several choral arrangements available. "I'se the B'y' which means 'I'm the Boy', is also a play on words as the flower is a bitone bloom and therefore 'I'se the B'y' could be interpreted to mean 'I'm the Bi' or bitone. If you'd like a few more early season blooming daylilies, this one could fill that role well.                                                                                     $40.00 DF (Double Fan)

This was the first daylily that I ever bought and it was misnamed and I've never been able to identify it. It is a spectacular bud building daylily that often begins blooming in late June in my garden and will often continue blooming into early September.

This daylily was noted for further evaluation from the first time that it bloomed. It is difficult to capture in a photo the full intensity of the saturated, beautiful dark colour of its flower. The petals are a slightly ruffled deep wine colour with a very intense black eye. Dark veins radiate inward from the eye into the throat, giving a starburst effect. There is also a dark edge on the petals that matches the dark eye of the daylily and the edge has a pencil line lighter, outer rim. Surrounded by yellow or lighter coloured daylilies or perennials in the garden, this daylily will literally draw you into its inner dark beauty. It is a cross between one of my seedlings ('Gavin Petit' x 'Loaves and Fishes') and Bryan Culver's 'David White'. There is an average bud count of 15 with 2-3 way branching on the scapes. I am very pleased to dedicate this daylily to the memory of Jimmy Kidson, an excavator operator extraordinaire, who sadly lost his battle with cancer in December 2021. Jimmy learned to operate excavation equipment at a very young age from his father, and went on to practice his craft for over 50 years. I was very privileged to have Jimmy work on much of the transformation of our property from rugged hillside to its present garden beauty. I was also privileged to work together with Jimmy on several landscaping projects on other properties. The Eastern Shore and surrounding areas have been a convas bearing testament to his skill. From septic fields to beautiful gardens, rock walls and sea walls, as well as ponds or rock sculptures like his huge Inukshuk in Oyster Pond, Jimmy has left his mark on the landscape of the Eastern Shore. It represents a  lifetime of work that may persist for centuries to come! For his contribution to landscape gardening and landscaping in general, I am glad to honour the memory of Jimmy Kidson with this daylily. $70.00 DF (Double Fan)

This cross between 'Spirit Zone'and 'Carpet Bagger' is a beautiful peach self with a large wine/rose lightly feathered eye on the petals and a matching outline on the sepals. There is a narrow wine/rose edge on the petals, starting in the throat and then morphing to a golden edge further out on the petals.   There are fairly heavy ruffles on the petals with lighter ruffles on the sepals.  The flower has a green throat fading to yellow and then melding to gold and rose, as it extends outward into the eye.  This plant has been my favorite seedling over the past couple of years.  It is an early morning opener even on cool mornings.  I get tired of purchasing daylilies that do not always perform well in my climate, so I am happy to say that I cannot recall seeing it ever open poorly.  Additionally, it looks great at any time of the day.  It has a fairly high bud count of 20 and 3-4 way branching.  $25 (Double fan)  It is named to honour my friend and prominent Atlantic Canadian plant writer, Jodi DeLong.

This Cascade Unusual Form daylily is named to honour my friend and a great gardener, Joni Guptill. A quick google search of Joni Guptill's name reveals a lifetime of accomplishments related mainly to her profession as a medical doctor. She was very involved with Medicins sans Frontieres (MSF) (Doctors without borders) both in the field in a variety of countries and at home in setting up the Atlantic Office of MSF.  She also served on the Board and as president of MSF Canada. She received the Distinguished Alumni award from Acadia University as well as an honorary doctorate. She ran a medical practice in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and continues a family practice in Nova Scotia. Like Joni, this daylily has been outstanding. It is a full sibling to 'Celestial Trinity'. The flower is a very large 8 inches on tall 40", scapes so the size of the flower and the height of the scapes gives this flower presence in the garden! It is a very hardy dormant that really helps to extend the daylily bloom season because the average bud count is over 20 per scape and it is a late blooming cultivar. If you're looking for a plant to add colour to your late season garden this one is for you! Additionally, the scapes have 4-5 way branchng, giving all those flowers great spacing on strong sturdy scapes. The deep wine red/pink petals have a large slate pink halo that is echoed on the sepals. A tinge of green deep in the throat of the flower turns to bright yellow as it extends outward and then fades to cream as it travels along the raised midribs. The parents are my 'Emerging Star' crossed with 'White Eyes Pink Dragon'. Double Fan (DF) $40.00

A crispate unusual form daylily.

With 5-6 way branching and a bud count of 35, 'Lilacs and Lavender' represents a step forward in breeding for a late blooming daylily with a very high bud count. This daylily resulted from a cross of my 'Lavender Space Journey' with 'Chateau Belair'. 'Lilacs and Lavender' is a bitone with lilac petals and a white midrib and lighter lilac sepals and a lemon yellow throat. If you're looking for a hardy daylily to extend the daylily bloom season in your garden, this daylily with 35 buds per scape will definitely do the job. $65.00 DF (Double Fan)

The flower on this plant is a stunning burnt orange with pencil-lined edges. It stands out in the garden with its very large golden yellow throat extending halfway out on the petals and sepals to form a golden star shape. The petals have ruffled edges with some ruffling exhibited on the sepals. The sepals exhibit cascading and some sculpting is visible on most blooms (ridges extending out 3/4 of the way on the petals). The flower has very heavy substance and holds up well in the rain. There is 3-5 way branching which distributes the blooms really well and it has an average bud count of 15. The plant is pollen and pod fertile with some difficulty. It is a very hardy dormant even though one parent is evergreen (Primal Scream x Purple Badger). It is named to honour Lloyd Mapplebeck for his contribution to landscape gardening in Nova Scotia. $36DF (Double Fan)

'Mauve Tiara' is a fuchsia mauve flower with slate undertones and a large cream watermark. The watermark is edged in a darker mauve with a slightly ragged texture. There are hints of a green throat that are overcast in yellow. Raised creamy white midribs extend out from the throat to the end of the petals. The petals are tightly crimped, and to a lesser extent the sepals. A golden pencil-line edge with a lacquer cast is visible on the outer edge of the petals. The pod parent is 'Forever The Optimist' crossed with 'Supermodel'. 'Mauve Tiara' has been a very hardy dormant plant for me and helps to extend the daylily bloom season with its mid-late season blooms. It is a very good plant for anyone wanting large flowers a little later in the season. The scapes have 2-3 way branching and an average of 18 buds. $26 DF (Double fan)

This daylily is flesh pink with a slight green tinge at the bottom of the throat that turns to yellow as it expands outward on the tepals. There is a large, dark wine eye and also a dark wine edge on the petals. The dark edge is outlined in a pale cream, pencil-line edge. The petal edges also exhibit tight ruffling. Midsummer Blooming Bouquet is a great colourfast flower, even on very hot, sunny days. Although there are flowers that look similar, it is an outstanding plant and surpasses many that are on the market. It is a very hardy dormant plant with 5-6 way branching and a bud count of 25. The combination of great branching and bud count, help to give this plant it's name. It starts blooming in midsummer and blooms profusely with the flowers well-placed, like a bouquet. Midsummer Blooming Bouquet is a great garden addition for someone looking for a standout plant with plenty of blooms. It is a full sibling with 'Luscious Lavender Lips'  from the cross of 'Arabian Trail' x 'Clarification'. $24 Double Fan

Mulberry Eye Deal combines the great bloom habit of my 'Cherry Blossom Discovery' with the exceptional colours of 'Swallow Tail Kite'. The result is a large flowered unique mulberry coloured daylily with a dark purple eye and purple veins extending from the eye into the yellow throat. With 3-4 way branching and a good bud count of 16 buds per bloomstalk, you are guaranteed 3-4 weeks or more of large show-off blooms in your garden. $60.00 DF (Double fan)

'Nova Niamh' is a great one of a kind daylily. The flower colour is a beautiful combination of mauve purple with a unique blend of pastel colours reminiscent of Easter. From the dark mauve on the sepals your eye is immediately drawn towards the green throat. The green throat then expands outward where it coalesces with several shades of yellow before opening into a very wide chalky white watermark. The flower form is classified as a Crispate Unusual Form daylily. It is a full sibling to my 2018 registration 'Linda Marie' and is out of 'Flying Trapeze' x 'White Eyes Pink Dragon'. It has a bud count of 11 and 2-3 way branching. The word 'Niamh' is of Irish origin (pronounced Nee ihv) and is a feminine given name meaning bright or radiant. Beacuse the plant was hybridized in Nova Scotia I added Nova to Niamh. I want to thank my good plant friend Heather Knight for suggesting Niamh. Niamh is the daughter of the Sea god Manannan and was known for her bright golden hair. At times the flower form resembles a pixie or fairy and this was another reason for choosing Niamh. I think this is the most unique looking flower that I have registered. For those who want something a little different, it's a treasure!      In the late summer of 2020 several of my Nova Niamh plants sent up rebloom stalks that continued to bloom into early October.                                             $65 DF (Double Fan)

'Quasar Caught Dining' resulted from a cross of my 2011 introduction 'Red-edged Sunrise' as the pod parent and 'Magnify The Lord' as the pollen parent. The intensity of the red is greater in 'Quasar Caught Dining' than in its parent and it also has a wider red edge which I believe comes from the pollen parent. The flower is very sunfast and has very little difficulty opening. The plant itself has been very hardy and fairly vigorous. Although it is not a particularly tall plant, it would make a standout plant near the front of a garden. The flower is a golden yellow with a bright red eye and thick red edge on the crimped petals. Although I have not listed it as a rebloomer, it has had some rebloom on it. The saturated colours fade very little in hot weather, giving a bright stand-out flower in the garden. 'Quasar Caught Dining' is named with reference to the discovery that quasars most likely fuel their brightness by eating up gas from other sources, probably neighbouring galaxies. Scapes have 3 way branching with an average of 14 buds per scape. $32 DF (Double fan)

This cross involved bringing the hardiness and great plant habit of 'Spirit Zone' (pod parent) into the magnificent flower of 'Gavin Petit'.  The resulting seedlings were eliminated one by one, with this one dominating for its acquired hardiness, large-sized flower and overall good plant habit.  It is a large bold peach flower, with a showy dark wine eye that extends out to a point on the midrib.  The dark wine colour of the eye completely surrounds the petal edges, but with a light cream outer edge.  The large eye feathers outward on the petals and sepals.  It is named after a friend, Nova Scotia business owner and great plant person, Rob Baldwin. 3-4 way branching and 15 buds.  $20 (Double fan)

This is another unique daylily due to it being registered as a relatively rare reverse bitone. I chose the name 'Role Reversal' for that reason because it is more common to find bitone daylilies with dark petals and lighter sepals than reverse bitones with lighter petals and darker sepals. 'Role Reversal' has a beautiful flower with dark pink crimped sepals and lighter pink petals above a pale yellow throat. Later in the bloom season the bitone aspect of the flower is less visible. This daylily has 3 way branching and a good bud count of 14, with blooms starting in midseason and extending to early late season. The cross is from my 'Lavender Space Journey' crossed with Bryan Culver's 'Lady Talk'. If you've been collecting lots of daylilies and want something a little different, this daylily can fill that need! $60.00 DF (Double Fan)

'Seaedge Dot and Chet' was named to honour Chester Reese and his wife Dorothy. Together they gardened and sold many types of landscape plants at their very lovely Seaedge Gardens on the edge of the Bay of Fundy in Port George, Nova Scotia. They helped to popularize daylilies in Nova Scotia and were also daylily hybridizers. They are to be honoured for a lifetime of popularizing landscape gardening that included lilies, daylilies, water plants, and a host of other perennials. Additionally, they were responsible for my falling in love with Japanese Irises when I first saw them in bloom in their gardens. 'Seaedge Dot and Chet' is a large bright yellow flower with a wine eye and edge. There is a partial pencil-line white edge along the outside of the wine edge. There is a very noticeable green throat with only slight hints of yellow. The plant has been a good grower and is a very winter hardy dormant with 2-3 way branching and an average of 11 buds. The cross was from one of my seedlings ('Spirit Zone' x 'Gavin Petit'17) crossed with 'Heavenly Dark Matter'. $28 DF (Double fan)

A great budbuilder.  The last one blooming in my garden every year.  Starts blooming in late August and blooms through October. 

Every daylily garden should have this daylily for extending the season late into the fall. A truly great plant.

This daylily has a dark burgundy purple flower. A large golden yellow throat is surrounded by a chalky blue/gray chevron pattern halo that is not always visible. The yellow throat has a starburst effect on the petals and sepals.  A white pencil-line edge surrounds the petals and sepals. From a distance, the very large (8") dark flowers are reminiscent of giant spiders. When in bloom, the plant stands out because the scapes are 48" tall. It towers above most of the other daylilies and truly resembles 'Tarantulas On Telephone Poles'. It is a Pinched Crispate Unusual Form Daylily. If you are looking for a tall, dark, and handsome flower that opens well and looks good in the middle or back of a garden bed, this one should serve that purpose well. It is a very hardy plant.

'Timberdoodle Sunset' was named by Bernard Jackson and is registered in his honour. Bernard Jackson came to Newfoundland in 1958 and served on the Wildlife Park Advisory Committee and helped to form the Salmonier Nature Park. Memorial University of Newfoundland asked him to develop the Oxen Pond Botanical Park (renamed MUN Botanical Garden) and he oversaw its development from 1971 to 1993. After moving to Truro, Nova Scotia he designed and helped install the rock gardens at the Dalhousie Agricultural Campus in Truro and helped to establish the volunteer group Friends of the Gardens to help maintain the campus gardens. Bernard is a wealth of information about plants and has made significant contributions to landscape gardening in eastern Canada. Therefore, he is especially worthy of having the daylily 'Timberdoodle Sunset' registered in his honour. Timberdoodle is actually another name for the Woodcock. Bernard remembers from when he was younger, seeing woodcock flying out of the woods at sunset and this inspired the name 'Timberdoodle Sunset'. The parents of 'Timberdoodle Sunset' are 'Lloyd's Hillendale Sunrise' and 'Heavenly Orange Blaze'. This daylily is an early season bloomer with 3-4 way branching on the scapes and an average bud count of 15 buds per scape. The flower is a bitone with dark burnt orange petals and lighter orange sepals mixed with golden yellow. It has a bright golden yellow triangular throat that maximizes the distinctiveness of the bitone flower. It is of average height at 32" tall but the flower is fairly large at 6", which helps it to be quite noticeable. If you're always anxious for the daylily bloom season to begin, this is a variety that blooms early and is a good choice for kickstarting your daylily season with a distinctive standout flower. Double Fan (DF) $55.00.
