DR. JERROLD CORBETT (Stamile)
YOU WILL RECEIVE A DOUBLE FAN OF THIS DAYLILY.
HERE'S WHAT HYBRIDIZER PAT STAMILE HAS TO SAY ABOUT DR. JERROLD CORBETT:
TET 4295-A (Leslie Renee x Princess Of Wales) 25” ERe. emo. ext. Ev. 5.25” x 3” x 2”. 5-way branching. 30-35 buds. When my friend and fellow hybridizer Jeff Corbett told me his father loved pink daylilies and asked me to name one for him, I knew it had to be a cutting edge pink. First it would have to have great substance, ruffling, great form, great color, excellent branching, excellent plant habit, excellent plant proportions with low arching foliage. In short, it would have to have all the qualities of a great daylily. DR. JERROLD CORBETT does all this and so much more. It combines a saturated rose-pink with a deep green throat and citron green edge. Most green throats and green edges become increasingly yellow in the course of the day. The green in DR. JERROLD CORBETT holds reasonably well throughout the day and is still chartreuse and rose pink after a long hot sunny day. The first flowers of DR. JERROLD CORBETT are such a saturated rose pink that they almost appear red. I have tried to use this clear concentration of color by crossing DR. JERROLD CORBETT into the reds. We have a lot of whites, pinks and pastels with green edges and I think the next few generations will bring us purples, lavenders and reds with green edges. I am hoping that DR. JERROLD CORBETT will be the bridge to that goal. As with any daylily hybridizing, sometimes you lead the daylilies while other times the daylilies lead you. I will get to see if this strategy worked this coming year....Fertile both ways.

Shipping begins April 15.
Here in Ohio, our plants may be slow to emerge in the spring. Before April 15, they aren't quite large enough for me to feel happy about shipping them.
Please contact me if you need special shipping dates.
Our zone 5 garden is heavy clay soil that we amend with lots of manure, peat, etc. Fortunately, rust does not overwinter in our part of Ohio. While I start my seedlings each year in our small greenhouse, everything else is grown outside -- all of our daylilies are field grown, hardy, and beautiful. If possible, I like to send extra fans as bonuses instead of other plants. Please let me know if you ever have a concern about plants you receive from me. I stand behind everything I sell, and hope that you get as much pleasure from these daylilies as I do.
