This daylily was hybridized by my good Nova Scotia daylily buddy, Ed Kimball. I grew it in my garden for him for the past few years and it has done very well. During the ADS Region 4 summer garden tours it looked great and was a show stopper for many of the visitors. Since my last name is Banks and I live on Jeddore Harbour, he made a nod to me by naming it 'Banks of Jeddore'. As an interesting aside to this name, I am very involved with a men's choir here on the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia (Coastal Voices Men's Choir). During the 2019 season we will be performing an arrangement by John Plant of a folksong based loosely on the melody of 'Farewell to Nova Scotia'. The name of the folk song is 'On the Banks of Jeddore'. Interestingly, it was collected in the Beauce region of Quebec. The daylily 'Banks of Jeddore' has been a hardy semi-evergreen in my garden. I live in a coastal region that often has cool foggy nights in the summer, nevertheless, the flower opens well most days. The scapes have 3 branches and up to 18 buds. The parentage is: Belle of Ashwood x Belle Cook. The flower is a beautiful pink with a gold edge and a green throat. $65 DF(Double fan)

This daylily is out of my registration 'Mary E. Banks' as the pod parent and 'Flying Trapeze' as the pollen parent. Both parents are very northern hardy daylilies and they bring those genetics into this offspring. As well, 'Flying Trapeze' continues to pass on unique designs in many of its offspring, which is the case with 'Bill Wilgenhof'. The flower opens well even after cool nights and is a dark rose pink flower with a chalky pink notched watermark and a green throat that brightens to yellow as the throat emerges outward on the petals. There is a bit of a white edge on the petals, especially on hotter days as the flower fades slightly over the course of the day. The plant has good branching which separates multiple blooms nicely when it forms a clump. The bud count of 18 is fairly high so it will give a fairly long season of bloom, often to the end of August or beyond in my garden. I am pleased to name this one after another Nova Scotian plant person.  Bill Wilgenhof and his wife Sharon Bryson, have run Willow Garden in Antigonish for many years and he was a founding member of the Antigonish Garden Club. He has always been willing to share his gardening knowledge over the years and he has done that for many of his 97 years! Over those years he has grown many seedlings from seeds that he obtained. This included many azaleas and rhododendrons but also a huge array of other garden plants, including daylilies! Often, these plants were shared with other gardeners. I am pleased to name this daylily after a person who was generous with sharing plants and his knowledge about gardening with other gardeners and aspiring gardeners. At 32" tall and 5.25" flowers it will show off nicely once established in the garden.                                       $45 DF (Double Fan)

A reliable rebloomer in my garden and interesting black buds and scapes.  Foliage has a tendency to be a lighter colour green than usual, early in the season.  Nocturnal.

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. $40 Double Fan

A great rebloomer that often doubles in my garden.

Listed as reblooming by the hybridizer. 

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) $55.00

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. $32 Double Fan

  This daylily is a beautiful yellow cream blend that lightens during the day.  It has a three-lobed yellow throat with a dark wine eye notched at each apex.  The petals are edged in wine with an outer gold edge.  The flower is an early morning opener (EMO) that recurves beautifully and every flower opens well and looks great even on cool mornings.  The pod parent is 'Spirit Zone' and the pollen parent 'El Desperado'.  The plant has 3-5 way branching and a great bud count of 20-25.  It was named by members of our local Coastal Voices Men's Choir and all proceeds go to support the choir.

'Cupid and Eros' is out of my 2016 registration 'Cherry Blossom Discovery' as the pod parent crossed with 'Hello Screamer'. The resulting seedlings had very high bud counts and most were hardier than both parents. "Cupid and Eros' was selected by one of my employees with another name in mind, however, that name was already registered so I decided on 'Cupid and Eros' because of the very large heart-shaped eye on the flower. The petals and sepals are a soft pink colour with a dark pink, almost red eye and edge and a yellow throat. The flower is large sized and the bud count is very high with 24 or more buds per scape. Even though there is a high bud count, the flowers are held nicely apart due to 4-5 way branching on the scapes. This is an excellent plant for a long season of bloom due to the number of buds per scape. At 41" tall it has good height as a major display plant in the garden. If you're looking for a plant that will give lots of blooms over a long bloom period and that will stand above many other plants, this could fill that hole in your garden!                                                                                       $45.00  DF (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. $16DF (Double Fan).

Listed as a rebloomer by the hybridizer, however, it blooms late in my garden and does not rebloom for me.   Photo compliments of Cecil Dunlap.

Extended Bloomer.

This daylily is a beautiful dark wine purple self with a green starburst throat fading to yellow as it extends outward on the petals and sepals. A chalky violet halo on the petals and sepals encircles the star-shaped centre. A slightly raised narrow, white midrib extends to the ends of the petals. This daylily is a vigorous grower with excellent plant habit, and as a dormant is very hardy. It has a very good bud count of 18 with 6-7 way branching. Although a midseason bloomer, the high bud count helps to extend the bloom season into mid-late. It is both pod and pollen fertile and combines my 2014 introduction 'Meenoo's Wings'  with 'Super Model'. $24 DF (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) $70.00

UF Crispate. Listed as a rebloomer by the hybridizer.  Fragrant. 

This large flowered daylily with 6.5" blooms is a very good show stopper since it has very good 4-5 way branching and up to 20 or more buds per scape. As a mature clump it puts on a great show, blooming over several weeks. The flower is pink with a very large wine eye and a matching wine edge with a slight hint of cream around the outer lip of the wine edge. It is a full sibling to 'Cupid and Eros', combining the genetics of my 2016 registration 'Cherry Blossom Discovery' crossed with 'Hello Screamer'. Although there are similar looking daylilies on the market I am pleased with the hardiness, the multiple blooms, and long bloom season of this made in Nova Scotia daylily. 'Face Plant' was named due to the dark purple eye on a flesh coloured daylily, reminiscent of anyone who happened to unfortunately take a face-first tumble and receive a black eye as a battle scar.               $40.00  DF (Double fan)

Blooms late for me, probably because it has such a high bud count.

Listed as a rebloomer by the hybridizer.  Fragrant.  A really great plant and a huge flower - a real show stopper!

'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.                            $38.00 DF (Double Fan)

Rose red edged white on the sepals with a green throat. 

The bloom on 'Intricate Matrix' is a lovely pale cream with a hint of yellow. Deep at the base of the throat the flower is an emerald green colour that merges into a full lemon yellow throat extending one third of the way out on the flower. The yellow throat is surrounded by a dark violet band that is only slightly echoed as a thin line on the sepals. The violet band is notched at the midribs and the darker violet veins in the band contrast with the lighter violet of the band to give it an overall stained glass effect. The creamy pale yellow petals and sepals exhibit gently ruffled edges. There are some daylilies that look similar, however, some of those are not hardy in our climate. This one is a hardy dormant plant. In addition, it has 4-way branching on the scapes, and the scapes have an average bud count of 22 which gives it a long season of bloom in the garden. If you are looking for a hardy, paler coloured daylily with a long period of bloom, this one fills that role very well. 'Dragon Flight' x 'El Desperado' $20 Double Fan

Unusual Form Crispate-Spatulate. 80% polymerous.

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) $50.00

'Lavender Space Journey' is a full sibling to 'Out Of The Fog' and my 2015 introduction, 'Emerging Star'. The parents are my 2014 introduction 'Meenoo's Wings' and Jamie Gossards ' Super Model'. All of these dayliles have high bud counts and excellent branching. They are all rock solid hardy dormants. 'Lavender Space Journey' has a beautiful bi-tone flower with pale lavender petals and lighter sepals. The throat begins as green and merges into a pale yellow. There is an applique eye that is often visible surrounding the yellow throat and that feathers out to form a slate gray halo. This is a standout daylily in the garden, with a form and colour not commonly seen. It has a high bud count of 25, making it a prolific bloomer, especially in an established clump, where the 4-way branching spaces the flowers out nicely. The plant has good height and stands above many other daylilies. The 7.5" flowers remind me of spaceships, and helped with naming it. $35 Double Fan

This is a cross between one of my previous introductions, 'Red-Edged Sunrise' with 'Gavin Petit'.  It has a peach coloured flower with a very large dark maroon eye.  There is a very thick matching maroon edge on the petals that narrows as it extends outward from the throat, and is bordered by a light cream coloured rim.  It has a greenish yellow throat with a prominent peach-coloured midrib extending out into the maroon eye.  The sepals have a hint of maroon on the edge bordered by a narrow gold rim.  It has been a hardy evergreen in my garden, having survived five winters with no protection.  It is named to honour my father and has 3-4 way branching and 14 buds.  $15 (Double fan)

I wish my camera skills were such that I could capture the true essence of colour in this daylily bloom. I am not completely satisfied with any of my photos. The dalily bloom on 'Luscious Lavender Lips' is a gorgeous cream coloured flower. It has a large lemon yellow throat that is surrounded by a very large light purple/lavender eye. The lavender/purple colour traces the outside edge of the gently ruffled petals. The beautiful shade of purple on the eye and edge of this daylily is very showy and not that common for eyed and edged daylilies in my garden. The scapes have 3-4 way branching and it has a good bud count of 15. It is a full sibling with 'Midsummer Blooming Bouquet' having come from a cross of 'Arabian Trail' and 'Clarification'. $24 DF Double Fan

Fragrant UF Crispate. 

'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. $30 DF (Double fan)

UF Crispate. 

Listed as a rebloomer by the hybridizer. 

This daylily is named to honour Niki Jabbour, a Nova Scotia garden writer, authour, and radio host. The flower is a beautiful peach/cream blend with ruffled petals. The outer edge of the petals has a thin white, pencil-edge outline surrounding a quarter inch wide, dark purple edge. The flower has a huge clear-coloured dark purple eye, with a raised midrib that pierces the eye with a narrow peach strip. The dark eye and edge give this flower a stand-out look in the garden. It is green deep in the throat with purple veins leading out to the bold eye. There is 3-4 way branching and an average bud count of 15. The large flower and the thick dark edge have made this flower a favorite of mine over the last number of years. 'Gavin Petit' x 'Carpet Bagger'. $32 Double Fan

For this daylily I crossed my introduction 'Lloyd's Hillendale Sunrise' with 'Last Fool Standing' and I got a large number of very hardy seedlings. After several years of evaluation all the other seedlings were gotten rid of until the best one remained. 'Orange You a Great Guy' was that seedling. This daylily is named to honour Luke Bedell, a young employee who worked for me for 5 years. Luke epitomzed great work ethic and quietly distinguished himself as a very loyal employee. Over the years he demonstrated great dedication to his job and to our business. After leaving our business he gained experience in several not-for profit and small businesses and followed a degree in business at Acadia University. He now runs his own business and works for a major accounting and payroll business. Since high school Luke was also very involved in Rugby, where he excelled provincially, playing for the local clubs but also being 1 of 2 students from Nova Scotia chosen to play on the Atlantic team. He continues to be involved with his community team here in Nova Scotia. Luke is a very bright haired ginger and I found it interesting that his favorite daylily colour is orange. So naturally, when it came to honour him with a daylily he was pretty keen on it being an orange one.  The flower is a medium orange colour with a yellow throat that has hints of green at the base of the throat. There is a very showy dark red orange triangular eye. There is a thin dark orange line around the edges of the consistantly ruffled petal edges. This daylily lives up to its name! It has 4-5 way branching on most scapes and has one of the best bud counts of any daylilies that I have introduced so far, with many scapes having over 25 buds per scape. Although the daylily is listed as an early midseason cultivar, because it has so many blooms, its blooming period extends into the beginning of late season. As a midsized plant it will fit into most gardens easily. If you're looking to brighten up an area of your garden with 4-6 weeks of blooms, this is a great plant to fill that need.

Crispate UF.  Maroon bicolor with yellow midrib and yellow green throat.  

Regal Diva's Eyeshadow is a plum colour with a lighter slate mauve watermark. The green throat turns to pale yellow as it extends outward toward the watermark. The flower has pale cream raised midribs and there is a narrow, creamy white edge surrounding the petals and sepals. The scapes have 2-3 way branching and an average of 20 buds. It has been a very hardy plant with 'Forever The Optimist' as the pod parent and 'Supermodel' as the pollen parent. This is another very good daylily for extending the bloom season as it blooms mid-late and has a very healthy bud count that provides blooming over a long period of time. At 41 inches tall and with a large flower, it has proven to be a good plant for the middle or back of the landscape. $32 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'. $32 DF (Double fan)

Extended bloomer.  Very fragrant. 

Cascade UF. 

This one is a fairly tender plant without snow cover in my garden, but a really great grower once established in a clump.

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) $50

This daylily is the result of crossing 2 seedlings which I no longer grow. Sometimes the offspring are an improvement in many ways over the parents.  The parents are (Lady Bandit x Magnify the Lord) x (El Desperado x Dragon Flight11). The flower on this daylily opens well even after cool nights and and the scapes have 2-3 way branching and an excellent average bud count of 25 per scape.The light cream colour of the flower is accentuated by the dark wine eye and edge. It starts blooming in midseason and because of the high bud count it blooms later into the season. I named it 'Tardy Hardy Flower Party' first of all because it starts to bloom later in the season, thus the word tardy. There are some similar or even better looking cultivars on the market but they haven't proved themselves hardy in my climate, unlike this daylily which is very hardy. Because it has a high bud count and very good branching, an established clump in bloom does look like a wonderful flower party! If you're looking for a flower that opens well, blooms later in the season and has blooms for many weeks, and that is also a very hardy plant, then this one is for you! Double Fan (DF) $65.00

'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.
